K ive having a hell of a time with my taillights....everytime i put a bulb in ..i swear a few weeks to a month later its out..i have one that doesnt light up at all right now and one that lights up but doesnt go brighter when the brakes are hit....is there a specific bulb i should get...ive been reading the codes off the other stock ones i had and just find em in the local store....are there anyother ones..i can buy that will work? i think maybe the sockets are all ****ed up...in some of em...:crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :paranoid: :o

Sounds like a socket or wiring problem. Are you buying cheapy bulbs are the good ones. (like APC bulbs=crap).

Make sure they are note exposed to weather. ie; your tails are sealed and no moisture gettin in. And don't touch the bulbs with your fingers. its usually just for halogen bulbs, but I make sure not to touch any bulbs.
Accords are all over junk yards, see if you can g some new sockets and what not.

If you still have problems, take a multimeter to the socket and see what kind of numbers you're getting.

the same thing was happening to my bulbs, white and yellow all over. make sure you buy 1157 LLs. The plain 1157s bust after a few starts.
