    Reverse light not working, tried everything?!

    True. I will do that. No, it was a generic one. I'll see if I can find a working OEM one and test with that. I have a Tourer 2007 also, might steal that one :)

    Reverse light not working, tried everything?!

    I tested the bulb and socket on the fog light side, they worked. I optically checked the fuse and it seemed ok, but I replaced it with a spare just to be sure. That lead me to the switch. I found a video on YouTube where the reverse switch on the gearbox was bad. So I took a chance, it was...

    Reverse light not working, tried everything?!

    Because of the reverse switch on the gearbox itself that engages when the reverse gear is selected, the switch which I already replaced.

    Hmm... didn't think there was one, are you 100% sure there is one?

    Thanks for the reply. No, I have not. I don't have a multi meter (and I don't know exactly how to use it, electricity has never been my strong side).

    Reverse light not working, tried everything?!

    Accord CL9 2006 Type-S. I noticed a while ago that the reverse light didn't work. I've replaced the bulb, the 7.5A fuse in the engine bay and now the reverse light switch on the gear box. And it's still not working... I tested the bulb and the bulb socket on the other side (where the fog...

    Xenon retrofit

    I'm running a VVME slim kit with 5000k bulbs on my 2007 Tourer. They work fine, a nice upgrade comapared to Halogens. But, compared to my 2006 Type-S Sedan with OEM Xenon they are rubbish :) You can't compare a Xenon kit against a Mercs "LED matrix" (or something) lights that ze Germans spent...

    Tourer - rear brake disc shields rusted away

    The rear disks held less than a year, I guess they got warped because of the heat from rubbing against the shield. Or maybe because stuck pistons in the rear calipers, or maybe both... So I ordered two new disks (again, but it was less than having a metal shop resurface the old disks, go...

    Tourer - rear brake disc shields rusted away

    Hi all, I've replaced the discs on the rear axle on my Accord Tourer. Once everything was of I found that the brake disc shields on both sides had rusted away, the entire shield was just barely staying in place by a few inches of metal left. I didn't have new shields at hand so I cleaned and...

    Binded rear caliper

    Remove the carrier and remove the glide pins, clean them and the inside of the rubber dust cover, apply new silicone grease (SILICON, nothing else or it'll eat up the rubber) and make sure the new caliper can move freely on the pins.

    Fitted LED number plate bulbs + sidelights

    MTEC 5W are much nicer than LED... and they last longer too (you'll see!). I had LED's on my EP3, had to change them every few months. The MTEC are really white and there is not a hint of blue in them. I use them for sidelights on the Accord and togheter with the blue inserts they look great...
