My right tailight went out today. whet thehell?! I'm going to the dealer tommorow to BITC*!

 

You can fix it yourself very easily...just go to a auto parts store and get a replacement bulb. No more than a 5 minute job, GUARANTEED.

The tail lights went out on my '99 a year after I purchased the vehicle. The local auto parts store didn't have the right size. When I found the right fit I happened to look at the wattage and I recall the specs were not the same. I suggest to go back to the dealer and get the original equipment. If you are closer to a Honda dealership the parts manager should be able to match one up from the Accord.

I complained and paid nothing for 4 replacement bulbs. It was kind of funny they seem to burn out so soon, but I don't care now since I got rid of the car.

 

after replacing my lights with the '02's I had no problem. I changed out the harnesses yesterday, placed the harness and bulbs on the ground and 2 of the bulbs filiments (sp?) broke and I had to throw them out.

Point of that story?? Those bulbs are EXTREMELY fragile and I'm surprised they don't go out a lot more with the amount of bumps we hit everyday while driving.

Yes I ordered them from Tim. I ordered the day the MVC forum went up. Yours are probably close to being shipped, but what the heck do I know.

Thanks for the compliment on the sig, I'm trying to do something different and not take a whole page to list my mods. It's stilla work in progress though.

 

3 out of 4 of my taillights(red bulb) went out couple of month ago.My dealer replace them for free during oilchange. ^_^

 

Got it replaced today... for free. Next stop, getting the rear door wrinkles out, Further tuning to moonroof (there is a new clear tape out to make it more sound proof i believe, and buffing of a scratch) That will be done next week. Shiet my prelude didn't have this many probs! For those interested about the shifter cover (I think its called a Scussion or something) The part runs 5 bucks, but the install takes a long time, they have to take the center console out. Best to do it yourself i you have a few hours handy.

 

Make sure not to touch the bulbs with your fingers.. The oil in your skin reduces the life of Halogen bulbs..Use a towel or napkin to hold it..
