Default Lights stay on

For some reason my taillights and third break light stay on all the time. Even when the car is turned off. Is there a reason for this

There's a small switch that's under the brake pedal and when you press the pedal down it completes a circuit and turns the lights on. My guess is yours is bad.

I've not done one on a honda, but my mustang was one whole piece. Either way, get down there and investigate.

or tape a coin or something to it. haha. i just got them from honda. id rather have the real thing, i feel like that switch is too brittle to be smacking a bolt too often.
