Honda installs a relay in series with each Tail Light Bulb so the bulb
sees less than 12 volts. I did not intend to say that you have to buy
a bulb manufactured by Honda. A bulb intended for other than a Honda
would fit, but not have the correct brightness.

For other than a Honda tail light, if I had a burned out bulb I would
look in a box in my garage for a bulb that looked the same and it
would work.

Cheers
