nice plan.

its always a good idea to pay 60 dollars for a tow, to protect you from a 0 dollar fix it ticket.

Dude, just look at what tail light went out, take out the socket and see if the bulb is burnt. If it is, go to auto zone, and buy yourself an 1157 bulb (dual filament) and you`re done.

OEM stands for original enterprise monkeys. these specialized monkeys produce all of honda's parts.

replacing any part on your car, no matter how small, with a non-OEM part can be extremely dangerous. these monkeys are very jealous.

this person was found in a field dead after a monkey saw him driving a civic equipped with an aftermarket lug nut. the attack was violent and painful. again, do NOT anger these OEM monkeys.

LOL man, you are killing me seriously..

mingchi69 -- go to AutoZone, purchase an 1157 Sylvania bulb, and replace the bulb.

You can also take it to Honda and grab a bulb from them as well.

On a serious note, I'm sure your going to tow your car to get a light fixed do it yourself you might learn something.

Yeah, dont get it towed, that's a waste of money. Just run up to the parts store, get yourself a new bulb. If you feel as if you cant do it yourself, take it to honda. Sometimes, people on here have been around too long, and forget how it feels to be a newbie.

Pick-up a helms manual as well. It'll get you acquainted with your car.

cant replace a light bulb huh? .... yet your on a site thats all about modified cars. It'll take less skills to replace the bulb than putting on altezzas and LED nozzle lights.

the fact that you posted this topic?

yeah its a valid question, but im sure if you sat down and thought about it, you could have come up with a solution on your own.

I can understand you posting a topic about replacing items on your car. But a bulb being burnt out is a no-brainer my friend.
