Somebody with an electrical manual please help. I am thinking about doing a tail light retro for a civic using the TL led assy. But I want to use the voltage regulator for the led/brake setup (controls/powers the leds). I am guessing there is one. Where is it located in the car? What is the part number? I know that it is not attached to the tail light itself because I have looked on acuraautomotive.org and its not in the picture.

 

Have you tried looking here: http://www.acuraoemparts.com ?

 

well not that exact site, but it uses the same search engine as acuraautomotiveparts.org

someone who has a manual could hopefully check and trace the schematics for me

 

most likelt it is in the light control assembly in the engine hood next to the fuses

 

According to the Service Manual and the Electrical Troubleshooting Manual, there is no regulator for the tail/brake lights-- you just feed them battery voltage and they have current-limiting resistors built in.

 

what you are looking for is built directly into the LED cluster on the taillights
