    the back running lights in the taillights you mean? do your other running lights still work?

    have you checked all the fuses for sure? those are dual filament bulbs one filament for brakes and one for running lights. you need to check for voltage at the sockets. also do any of your other lights come on when you turn on the headlights? like your corner lights on the front? your bulb warning won't come on for taillights out,only if brake lights aren't working.

    keep it up dude. Don't post any pics. If you keep stringing them along long enough then you could overtake me as the king of "forgetting to take pics" lol

    um.... pics???

    Re: break lights

    looks great but you need to change the center grill,the end pieces don't look right with those headlights
    maby mod a later model accord grill to fit in the middle would look much cleaner. rest of it looks great
