JDM tails don't accept the "parking lights" they only have room for 3 bulbs. Brake, Turn Signal and Reverse. Most likely you wired the 4th Parking light from the USDM lights stuffed into the reverse socket.

The person who wired mine up originally did this as well, I had to fix it.

towelie,

This is happening and will happen until you get the other connector and fit the light in there. It is Honda's way of saying you have a burnt out bulb or missing bulb.
