Not.
Spec'd lamps are standard. A 327 or whatever has a specified voltage, base
design, current rating, and output (candlepower) .
Honda can't change that unless they design their own lamp, with their own specs
(and number). I don't see where they have done that. If you have an example,
please post it.
