Yes, there are several writeups on how to do this - HondaSociety has 2 that I am aware of.

You will need to pick up a different socket (if I remember, an Odyssey's) and a dual filament bulb

yep, all muffin's info is correct. easiest way is to goto a junkyard, with your bumper light in your hand, look for a car that uses a dual filament socket and 1157 bulb. plug it into your bumper light to make sure it fits. id spend more time looking at the front end of cars, like the corner lights. then cut w/long enough pigtails and buy. i took mine from a 1st gen odyssey front corner light, fits into bumper light like stock.

Or just take it from a 92-00 civic and you will be fine. Carrying your bumper light into a junkyard is stupid.

thanks for the kind words. whats also stupid is buying the socket and finding out it doesnt fit well.

but i guess since i mentioned odyssey and you said 92-00 civic, he'll have no problem.

Stupid is actual paying for the socket plug from a junkyard....bring a set of cutters and you can get all the different ones that you want.

Yeah! Because stealing is cool!


Or just pay the $2 for a socket that fits? Bringing the light doesn't hurt at all.

seriously. i didnt think it hurt at all. i didnt know it was MORE of a hassle to bring a bumper light in with you, than going around cutting off several sockets, wondering if they'll fit, and if they'll charge you for the several you got(which you'll end up paying more for, rather than just the 2 you needed), or if you dont plan to ask then if you'll get away with just stickin them in ur pockets or toolbox.
