For my Honda Accord, I found that O’Reilly Auto Parts has compatible bulbs for the rear running lights. Always check their clearance section; you can score some great deals!
Great tip! Are those bulbs easy to install? I’m somewhat of a novice when it comes to car repairs.
Absolutely! Most bulbs snap in easily, especially if you have a basic toolkit. YouTube has plenty of tutorials to help if you’re unsure.
I recommend checking with local auto salvage yards too. Sometimes you can find perfectly good parts at a fraction of the cost of new ones.
That’s a solid idea! But you have to be wary of getting bulbs that are too old. They may not last long even if they look good.
Anyone had luck with specific brands?
I’ve had good experiences with Philips bulbs. They are reliable and tend to last longer than cheaper options.
I’ll second Philips! My friend swears by their bulbs too. But is anyone else concerned about the environment with these old-fashioned bulbs? Should we shift to LEDs?
LEDs are definitely the way to go, both for longevity and energy efficiency! Plus, you can often find kits that have everything needed for installation.
Has anyone tried those fancy multi-color LED bulbs? Are they street legal?
They can be fun, but I think they might attract a bit too much attention—like a disco ball on wheels! Best to stick with standard colors for rear running lights.
That’s a fair point! Safety first, right? Speaking of safety, is there a reliable site for checking wiring issues if my lights still don’t work after replacing the bulbs?

You could try forums like Reddit or vehicle-specific communities. They usually have pretty knowledgeable users who can guide you through troubleshooting.
Thank you all for the great suggestions! It’s nice to see people helping each other out instead of just arguing. This community rocks!
Hey, it’s crucial for your safety! Rear running lights play a key role in making your vehicle visible to others. Please check the bulbs and connections first. It’s not just a matter of legality; it’s about being safe on the road.
That’s a great point! I also think it’s important to know the laws in your area regarding rear running lights. Some places can be strict!

According to DMV regulations, all vehicles must have functioning rear running lights. Failure to comply can lead to fines. It’s not just a guideline; it can really hurt your case in an accident!
I had the same issue last month! After some tinkering, it turned out to be a loose connection. I recommend checking there first before worrying too much about the legal stuff.

What’s really interesting is how many drivers overlook this. It’s not just about fines—it’s a major safety concern!
Absolutely! Not having working rear running lights can be a recipe for disaster. I feel like some drivers treat their cars like they’re not even on the road every day.

Don’t forget about visibility! If you’re driving at night without these lights, you could seriously endanger yourself and others. Always better to fix them ASAP!
