3rd brake lightbulb out

I just noticed today the light wasn't working, so I checked it and the bulb was out. Does anyone know the part # or any other info I could use to order it somewhere?

Thanks!

If you check your owners manual It should tell you the part number for every bulb on the car.

Get rid of the POS stock light and get an LED one... it will never burn out again!

I replaced the bulb, but I'm looking around for a LED lamp that doesn't look like it should belong on a Honda. I kinda like the black/smoked one from Moss Mustang: http://www.mossmustang.com/Shop/View...eIndexID=56916 .

mrkabc's right, ditch the stock, go LED. I can't believe they'd actually use a single bulb high-mount, but I guess it was the cheapest way to go. I replaced mine with an APC LED one. I popped the lens off the stock and put it on the APC one and it fit no problem. I wasn't wild about the look of the APC one once I put it on the car. I had it on for about a week before I tried to change the lens. Be careful taking the lens off the stock one, though as it can crack really easily. It will come off, though. If you don't like the way the aftermarket ones look, this is a good way to go. Good luck!

Interesting, do you have a close-up pic of that modified lamp with the light on?

My APC LED light is supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Thanks for the info on using the stock lens in case I don't like the red/clear lens that comes with the APC.

I'll post pics as soon as it's installed.

Good call panamajk89!! Wow, I had no idea that the lenses were interchangeable. I do like the APC red/clear look but if I get tired of it...

Here's a nanner for you!

Wow, I didn't know you could even do that . I haven't been *thrilled* with the clear... I've just been trying to get used to it, and living with it.

Good to know.

Thanks for the positive feedback, and in your case mrkabc, the nanner. I tried to get used to the clear but it just never clicked for me. I'm glad to have figured it out for everyone else.
