Do you have a volt meter and some time? I've see a few of the 4th gens have a connection issue out of the headlight switch.

It will help. Need to see if "power" is making it to the rear running lights or not.

It is a long read but this is an example of the issue with the wire under the dash I was speaking about: http://www.hondaaccordforum.com/foru...problem-46919/

well i know some kind of power is making it to them, my brake lights and turn signals work. just no running lights, every other light that is on this car works except the running lights while im driving down the road, people behind me cant see me unless i press the brake. i am thinking of just replacing the wiring harness under the riverside back dash right by the speaker. i was told that was bad but i am not seeing how something that trivial could be causing a problem like this. i am not so good with the wiring of vehicles!
