    Greetings Colm.

    You helped me pick this car a few years ago ...

    Honda ACCORD VIII
    From Feb 2003 to Jul 2008
    Engine: 2.0 (CL7) [155hp. 1998cc

    Will get 2 of each marked A and B on car ...

    I think the number plate ones are gone too. NCT soon

    Thanks

    Pretty sure what you’ve marked as A is a reversing light at the passenger side and a rear fog light on the drivers side. Make sure these are actually blown.
    For this kind of stuff you’re as well off going into your local motor factors. These bulbs are cheap.

    Hence why you can't see it. Not sure about the Honda but my partners old Pugeot had this, bugged the sh1t out of me having a reversing light on one side only.

    So there should be 4 rear reds so 2 on each side at 5 watt brightness with the outer 2, 1 on each side acting as rear brake lights at 21 watt.

    The left inner closest to reg is reverse and opposite is rear fog.

    Oh and for any confusion the very outer on each side are the orange indicator lamps.
    Forgot to add.

    Also many fuel stations will have bulbs just they'll be more expensive.

    They are commonly known as capsule bulbs and are not expensive. Just bring the old ones with you into any motor factors and they will sort you out.

    Have used powerbulbs.co.uk, good selection of brands, fine if you can wait for delivery.

    If they're your bulbs in the photo, they don't look blown. Have you swapped them around to test them? They're cheap as fook either way and as said any motor factors will have them.
