How do I change a brake light on a Honda Odyssey?
I got pulled over yesterday for having a brake light out on my Honda Odyssey. What’s the easiest way to change a brake light?

Sorry to hear you were pulled over, but most municipalities will throw the ticket out if you can prove you replaced your
tail light
!To change a brake light on a Honda Odyssey, go to an auto parts store and purchase a set of two cheap halogens for around $6. Then, follow these steps:
- Pop the tailgate.
- Notice the plastic trim around the edge.
- Look for two plastic cutouts near the rim of the tailgate.
- Pry these open with a flathead screwdriver.
- This will expose two Phillips-head screws. Use a screwdriver to remove these.
- Pop off the taillight.
- Once you take the taillight housing off, you can see the brake lights.
- Turn the dead bulb counterclockwise a quarter of a turn, and pop it straight out.
- Pull out the old bulb.
- Put in the new one.
- Pop the bulb back in the housing, and turn it clockwise to make sure it’s sealed.
- Test the brake light by putting a rock on the brake and going behind the vehicle to ensure the brake light is working.
- If it is, reassemble everything in reverse order.
