Thanks for the video. Honda dealership wanted to charge me $114.50 to replace all 3 of my brake lights. I laughed in the service advisor face and respectfully declined. Drove to the local autozone and spend $25 on 2 pairs of bulbs and 20 minutes of my time later..working brake lights.
Good job!!!! Well worth the experience never get ticket for brake lights issues.
@@RBTheMechanic your video was great. I truly appreciate it.
@@itsj0hnnyb0y yup glad it helped u!!
I was quoted $50 labour to do my cabin filter even if I provided it, I thought they could just include it with my oil change but nope, you don't even need a single tool to do it too lol and takes all of 2 minutes...dealership crooks!
I always appreciate a tutorial like this, You make a simple job seem simple, you're thorough, and you''re to the point. A lot of people like me who are a little ignorant about basic car repair and maintenance can stress a lot about simple tasks, so this approach is much appreciated.
Yeah straight to the point and easy
@@RBTheMechanic indeed! Much appreciated:)
Thanks to this video I was able to change both brake lights, in the dark, using a phone flashlight, a pocketknife and an empty pill case.
Nice good job!
Excellent work instructions! My bulb was stuck and had to use the pliers. Thank you! Thank you!
Oh yeah new videos I show to use rag lol I had cut on my hand bulb was weak soon as I tried to pull it out it popped and cut me
Really helpful tutorial! Thanks for the tip with using the wrench, mine was pretty stuck as well!
Thank you so much. Very simple. I appreciate your clear explanations and camera focusing on what we needed to see. Saved myself $40.
Nice good job
Many thanks for such a great video.
I called around to a couple shops in my area cause my break light went out and they were charging $40-$45 per bulb!!!
I said no thanks and decided to try myself. Your video was a lot of help. Went to AutoZone and got the bulbs I need and they were only $6 for a two pack!
Many thanks again for teaching me something new and saving me some time! :)
Good job!!! I got tone of videos on many many repairs and tricks I will save lot of money down the road Type in the issue in search bar and related video will come up for example. Civic ac not working RB The Mechanic. Or headlight not working on civic rb the mechanic. As long as u add my name at end it will show all related videos
@@RBTheMechanic Many thanks! I defenitly plan on learning to work on my own car. As a female, I have had some issues with some of the shops I took my car to (example. I had several shops that tried to charge me for large amounts of work just to pass inspection that I didn't need) so I want to learn how to do it myself.
I have subscribed and will defenitly tell all my civic friends to look at your vids!
Thanks again :)
Huge help! Thank you for uploading this video!

Hi so I have a 2010 Honda Civic and just found out today both my tail break lights are out and I was told by the man at the auto store that a lot of times that’s a fuse so I don’t want to replace the light bulbs and it’s the fuse so you have a video on how to change the fuse for the back break light and where it’s located at in my car. Thank you for the video! I will be changing my own lights if it is the light bulbs😀
Change the bulb!!! If fuses goes not the third light will work and u can’t put car to drive
Thanks, brother you made it look easy. 👌

Welcome
My break light just went out before my road test 😂
change it
BRAKE light
It works for me thanks I just remove 1 nail😅
Lol I’m glad u got it done
Thanks for breaking it down. I'm about to replace my brake light now. Does anyone recommend Bulb Grease? Or is it just a gimmick?
These do have grease goes in to connector but I wouldn’t worry about that leave it alone
@@RBTheMechanic Thanks again!
@@huyenthi-mariango welcome glad the video helped!!!
Great vid. I have a similar problem however, I have an 06 civic and the rear lights don’t turn on when I brake. The top brake light does turn on however, so my problem is with the rear left and right. They turn on with the parking, so it’s only when I brake. Any tips? Thanks.
Change the bulbs to start
Most bulbs have a double filament, sometimes one of the filaments can go out causing only half of the bulbs purpose to work. If bulbs don’t fix it I would look into checking fuses
If bulbs don’t work check your fuses
Hi. Would it be similar for my 2013 civic rear brake lights?
Yeah just make should be about similar
I just replaced for a new one but still not working, any idea what it might be?
Did u check to see if I put correct bulb also check the contacts inside the connector by the way bulb could be faulty
hi, love ur videos. they’ve been a real help. this might be a crazy question. is it possible for headlights to get weak. i sometimes wonder if my headlights r even on. i’m 64. not sure if it’s an age issue or possibly lights or lenses need to be replaced. thnx for any advice.
Usully the lens gets dirty and fades out In that case u need to replace the whole head light assembly cleaning then wont make diffrence and will be waste of time and money
thnx for the info
Hi great video 👍🏼. I have a 2008 Honda Civic 1.8l and I’m having issues with the calibers sticking. I installed new calibers, slider pins, rotors, brake pads and both front brake line hoses. I’m still getting sticky calibers causing the rotors to get hot while driving. I did a complete brake flush to make sure there’s no air in the lines and filled the brake fluid reservoir to the correct full level but can not seem to find the problem. There’s no leaks around the master cylinder, no ABS or break lights on and the brake lines look good. Brake fluid runs through the front and back brake lines properly. I’m stuck on this one. If you or anyone have any ideas on what my issue is can you please let me know. There’s no ABS or any warning lights, no codes. Thank you.
How did I determine the calipers are locking up? Did u lift the car and all wheels were hard to rotate?
alright alright alright
Does anyone know the part number of the 2 screws/clips that were removed in this video? Thanks.
What time frame h see at
How do you get the other plug out for other light bulb
Which one they all all pulled out of the socket and twist off the housing
Your video was informative but you didn't mention that there were clips to release the old bulb from the housing. I had a problem the first time attempting to change a bulb, but after watching the video again, I see the clips.
I’m not sure if there were clip they just pull out I’ll double check at what time frame on video u see the clip. But I’m glad u got it done best done by urself !!
@@RBTheMechanic I will get it done when I can and I will double check the clip too and see if the bulb comes out easier.
What if I don't hear the click. So hard to turn clockwise with your hands due to the limited space. I turned it clockwise to lock and it looks firm
To turn out it’s counter clockwise and to lock it back it’s clockwise u might feel a click or thump when it snaps onto its spot anyways use meddle nose player if h need to
@@RBTheMechanic the pliers did the trick
When he first opened the trunk and I saw all the junk, I was afraid I might see a dead body
lol
I tried this but the bulb was orange like a turn signal. Did I pull the wrong socket? Thanks
Coil have but if it’s in red part then it dosent effect
Inma go to pick your part and get these for free thank you.
Hi. I have replaced the rear left brake light bulb with a new bulb and it still doesn't work. The right brake light works though. It can't be the fuse or the brake switch. What else can it be?
Did u put in correct bulb? U can use test light to check power and ground into the socket while some on press the peddle that would confirm it’s bulb or somthing electrical
@@RBTheMechanic yes I have used the correct bulbs. I took it out and compared it at the auto shop. So it's definitely the right one. I don't have a multimeter either but it's ok now. I figured it out. I changed the sockets and put the left to the right and the right to the left. I think it was the fact that it wasn't connected properly. They just had to be inserted properly. Thanks for your reply anyway! Keep up the great videos! Very helpful and easy to follow!
Does it matter if bulb is orange or clear ?
If the lens is red then it don’t matter
Should have given the number on the bulb.
I’m sorry on the bulb it self has a number
What about the trunk door lights?
Ahh video comming soon 😉
@@RBTheMechanic never mind actually. Figured it out due to my skillful ways of common sense! Haha
@@EMPTYKProductions good job bro! But I will make video on this as well
I thought my car was a mess.
Haha I think this customer sleep in the car
Bronx?
NJ
What happens if it's one filament
If u out one filement where there supposed to be dual u will blow the fuses
Ok thanks cos I replaced mine and after watching ur video I realized my new bulb has only one filament... maybe that's the reason it doesn't shine when I hit the brakes but it shines when I remote lock the car only
@@cyriljohncross4082 the center is one filament the side 2 are dual
I can’t manage to pop it back in bro why
You have to turn the plastic screw a couple of turns counterclockwise. If you don't do that, the screw spreads the arms of the lower piece and it won't fit back in the hole. To put the retaining screw back in, the idea is to loosen the screw so that the lower arms can come in to a narrow diameter, then theses arms will fit in the hole. Then when you tighten the screw it expands those arms back out so that the retaining piece won't pop back out of the hole. It is a common connector in Honda's, Toyota's and Lexus. If you try to hammer it back into the hole (...she said) it will ruin the connector. You can buy new ones at the dealership. They are about $1 each, but hey, we learned our lesson.
Pop what back in?
@@parkerbohnn Deez Nuts
No grease to bulb?
What??
Just smear the grease on the bulb so its insulated from water getting into it.
I change the bulb, but now the whole thing, even the reverse lights aren’t turning on
Did u use the correct bulb? The circuit is diffrent for reserve lights could be u ya led the harness
@@RBTheMechanic yes the bulbs are exactly the same
dammit man I should have watched this first. Both my brake lights went out at the same time. So I didn't know which bulb it was. So I damn well changed the wrong bulbs, and still no brake lights(signal light bulbs) then I tested the wrong bulb housing wire with the brake pedal pressed and hey I wasn't getting power. So I thought I was being crafty and ran a jumper wire from the high mount, thinking problem solved. And, with the ignition off, all 3 lit. However with ignition on I realized I had run jumper wires to the signal lights. So my hazards were lit continuously and the signal lights did not work anymore. I went, what the f? Cut the jumper wires, and went searching forums for where the fuses are. There is only one under the hood and since my horn worked and the high mount worked, I was wtfing again. Then I thought, wait. I don't know which bulb it should be. So I learned that from this video. Am I dumb or what. 3 hours wasted.
Yeah bro even me I learn new new things always I just took out 2 covers to do oil change then figured out I only had to take off one
Why does no one tell you how to pull the entire unit out ?!?!?!
I have video on the entire light on this car ruclips.net/video/pa69H_p8kMU/видео.html
@@RBTheMechanic sweet! Thank you!
I replaced it . Alright?? 😅
Hehe
Different light
