But the bulbs are good... the drivers side works fine so its not a fuse... the wires look good but there's this little black box it looks like the wires are spliced into right before the light housing that ill get a picture of soon anyone got any ideas? Btw the break light uses the same bulb as the turn signal which works fine...

It goes through a hole that I can't see where it goes, would it split in the back of the car somewhere to the two lights... or in the front?

I think the box is just a converter for the lights and the other lights wouldn't work if it was bad right?

Test for voltage going into the box. Then test for voltage coming out of the box to see if it's getting thru the box. By the pic it looks like green is the power wire and white is the ground but, I could be wrong. You'll have to figure that out on your own.

That box is part of the harness and can't be got separate unless you find a salvage yard that will let you cut it off. Number 3: http://www.hondapartscheap.com/south...t=0&quantity=0

Well I figured since thr ground split to a diffrent working light that it had to one of the two positive green wires so I. Just messed around with them a little bit and pushed them in tightand popped the light back in and it works now =)
