1. Open the trunk and remove the taillight cover by turning the knob.
2. Determine which of the two bulbs is burned out: tail/stoplight or turn
signal.
3. Remove the socket by turning it one-quarter turn counterclockwise.
4. Remove the burned out bulb from the socket by pulling it straight out of its socket.
5. Install the new bulb in the socket.
6. Reinstall the socket into the light assembly.
7. Test the lights to make sure the new bulb is working.
8. Reinstall the taillight assembly cover.

If I remember right there are bolts the can be accessed from inside the trunk after removing the plastic panel. Then the whole tail light assembly can be removed, and the lightbulb can be changed.

My back lights on my 97 honda accord will not turn off

There is a problem with the brake switch. look under the dash at the brake pedal. follow the arm the pedal is attached to and about 8 - 10 inches above it is a box with a botton that is pressed when the brake pedal is all the way back(off). in other words, when you let off the brakes, the button is pressed which turns off the brake lights. see if that box has moved and if the pedal is still pushing that button on it in far enough to shut off the brake lights. try pulling the brake pedal back by hand and see if they shut off. Hope that helps.

I have a 97 Honda Accord. We just replaced the lens since it was broken, the light stilled worked, however since we changed the lens, it works except we we are actually pressing on the brake pedal. Whats...

The tail light works but not the brake light? The bulb is burned out this is a two phase, or function tail light one for running lights the other brighter one is brake lights. Simply replace the bulb and this SHOULD fix it. Good Luck
