Ahh, not necessarily. Tail light lenses/assembly and the associated wiring harness for the bulbs are entirely separate entities. Plus, OP could have aftermarket sockets regardless.

I'll look up the info, OP.

E: bah, no result thus far. have a multimeter, op?

Match up the colors - assuming you have Honda tails/sockets. Not sure why aftermarket would be any different though....

Red/black - parking

green/white - brake lights

green/black - reverse lights

....for all Hondas since the beginning of time

EDIT: Are you sure the problem is your Harness?

I see lots of people (all the time, I work in auto parts) have their reverse light bulbs installed where the brake lights, and/or turn signal lights should go. And then when you step on the brakes (or whatever function) the wrong section of the lamp assembly lights up.
