    Finally got this DIY outta the way. Took me ages to remove that damn screw at the top corner under the trim.

    Cutting the hole for the bulb holder wasn't that bad. All you need is a good blow torch to soften the crap outta it.

    Here's the end result:




    The one on the right does seem brighter. Not sure what makes it like that but I'm proud of this one!

    Before you pull anything apart, rotate the bulb to make sure its not just the polarity. It looks like the 5w parkers are just on.

    Also swap the bulbs to see if the same thing happens.

    as for the clip, its a hard one to get out, you just have to keep pulling, but make sure you've got the clip depressed. i cant remember which side its on, but once its in you should be able to get it. it is tight though.
    I don't think there are any nuts & bolts on any Honda that use 4 or 5mm.

    Smallest nut or bolt I've encountered on a Honda is 8mm.

    Yea I'm 100% certain it's an 8mm nut on the tail lights. I did however, remove the trim on the speaker that's sitting above the lights in order to get to that cranky nut.

    I believe I did connect the wrong wires. Didn't bother checking before connecting them as I got the passenger's side correct the first time.

    On the passenger's side: Red (new bulb) to Red (tail light) and Black to Black and Green not connected. So I just took it for granted that it's the same on the driver's side.

    What a flop!

    Funny enough the wiring on the driver's side was indeed the opposite of the passenger side.

    Did a quick swap and it's all even now on the brightness.
