/6 Dan suggested a new number for bulb replacements for me (3496) I think.
Brighter and use a little less amps.
You pretty much HAVE to get them from a Honda dealership and you still have to ask for the genuine bulb with the nickle bases. (Most other places are Chineese knock offs) as /6 Dan told me.
