Reverse Lights

[civicdrvr22]

I just installed my new tail light assembly and now the reverse lights won't work. i was wondering if any of you have this problem. i have also changed the bulbs and am going to check the fuses in a few days when i get time. but other then that i don't know what could have happened, because they were working before i installed the tail light assemblies.

Ya, accept that the new lights on the trunk only need one light, that one for the reverse lights, whereas, the stock lights had two lights for reverse and brakes

thats why they dont work. since altezza's are a very lame mod. they added this new chip in the honda's that will disable the use of the altezza tail lights. they added this chip because they are trying to keep the honda name respecible instead of stupid and lame. in other wordds they are trying to save the humilation. put the stock tails back in. :shrug:

in all seriousness.. check the wires. mabye u have a short? also check fuses. :shrug: i dunno

Ya sorry man I am an altezza hater too..but, I would check the fuses first..you could have blew one or one could be lose....Also make sure all wires are hooked up and hooked up correctly..good luck

It's probably a blown bulb, sometimes car makers will set it up so that if one bulb is out others will not work so that it will get your attention. Makes no sense to me, but it's been known to happen!

hey, i had the same ones. mine worked fine, you probably either busted the bulb, fuse, or loosened the connection that splits the wiring right before they go into the tail lights. if you want, i can send you my old reverse light hookups where it only has the socket for the 1 reverse light instead of both lights on the trunk

yea, do you still have your stock lights???????
