Back Bulb

Alright i got a problem with my back right tailight. The light inside the car back bulb comes up, but i changed 2 bulbs already in that tailight about 2 days ago, and i think its one of those bulbs i changed, but since i changed them already why would this light still be comming up. I havent check yet if the new bulbs are messed, im gonna do it tomorrow.

any ideas why this is doing that?

my light on the dash showed up a while back that my tailight bulb was out. i checked it and replaced it on the same day.. and it just disappeared from the dash right away.. im not sure what's the problem on yours, but maybe you should just take it to someone.. like a mechanic or to the dealer services and ask. or just call an acura dealer near your area and just ask about it

hmm what year do you have? I didnt know we had a taillight bulb in the dash...try to reset the cars computer...disconnect the negative terminal on the battery for at least 15 min. Be sure you have your radio and or navigation codes.

or you could resort to checking your manual

you have to replace all FOUR bulbs at the same time...yes it weird....but once you do that it will work. A few ppl including myself have experienced what you are saying, and after replacing all of the four bulbs, everything worked fine.

maybe these bulbs that i got are weak as hell and i might need to get some from acura itself or maybe a wire got disconected, but anyways im gonna take it to a mechanic and MAYBE bring to the dealership, but would end up payin money for nothin so maybe not, gonna see what the mechanic says, ohh and its a 2000
