Red/Clear Taillights

[accordex_1990]

I just got some new Red/Clear Taillights for my 1990 Honda Accord 4dr EX, but I have a slight problem. The main light (the two bigger pieces in the four piece set) doesn't have the little holes to put the bulb through, instead you woul;d have to put the bulb directly into the light. Any suggestions on how or where i could place the bulbs behind the bigger pieces of the taillight. Thanks

Yea those bulbs should be the 7743/7744 bulb, I have no clue what your talking about with the wedge bulbs :/

The thing is that i have no wear to place the bulbs that light up the lenses. Its looks like the lense doesn't have that sucket you put the bulbs in.

I think he is saying that the red/clears didn't come with the main rear socket housings (white) that have the wires and bulbs etc. I believe you will need to remove this piece from your oem lenses and mount it to the red/clears to make it complete. If not I have no clue what you are saying.

riiiight...
is that what yer talkin about? coz those light dont come with the socket housing. u have to use the ones thats on yer oem ones.

[accord4thgen]

Yeah thats all I could think he meant. You think you would be able to tell they aren't complete!! LOL:lol:

Thanks for all the feedback I figured somehow i would have to modifify something on the light to make it work. But instead of using the socket housing from a oem tailight could I use it from an altezza tailight?

im not too sure that you could... altezzas dont have bulbs in the same locations as the OEM (and red/clear) taillights. if you got rid of your stock tail lights, you are probably gonna have to find a junkyard or something to pull the backs of the lights off.
