What I did to fix mine was just rewired them....

ok i have a brown box on the driver side tail light, and a grey on the passenger side. its the brown one right?

Sorry for the late reply, but I think you have to swap out the grey box on the right tail with a black one. The grey box comes with the spoiler kit.

BTW, the factory ONLY put spoilers on the 93 SE coupe. All others were a dealer installed option.

They all came with both boxes. One on the left and one on the right. The left one controls the left two brake lights and the right sensor controls the third brake light and both right brake lights. Factory spoiler has the brake light that doesn't disable the third brake light bulb. THe factory spoiler uses the left control box. They are not interchangeable as one has a 5 wire plug and one has an 6 wire plug

The one on the right side is different depending on whether or not you have a spoiler. The one on the left is not replaced when the spoiler is installed, the one on the right IS.

Look at the sig. I have one with a spoiler and one without.

no im referring to the 3rd brake light on the rear dash of the car, between the speakers inside the car (just so theres no confusion). i just always thought it was the bulb and was lazy about replacing it for a long time. so i was bored one day and just went and bought replacement bulbs for the dome light and brake light. i have the factory spoiler, and i want the brake light on the rear dash to light up so i can light up a sticker i put there and so it lights up cuz i just dont like when things in my car dont work right. please give me a walkthrough on how i can change bypass the disabled light, i still want my spoiler to light up also. thanks for the help guys i really appreciate it.

All right. All ya have to do is find a wire going to the spoiler light and splice it into the 3rd brake light. all post a pic in a few.

In my 1991 Accord EX-R 4door with spoiler has 3rd brake light, spoiler lights don't work lol. In the coupe the spoiler lights work, but the 3rd brake light doesn't. Still has all the wiring, bulbs are good...but in the dash there is a light that is always on that says "BRAKE LIGHT" at the back of the car on the little pic...so I think the 3rd brake light is supposed to be there, since the car knows it's not working.

first. pull your right side pannel off in your trunk.




You will see a loom of wire thats chillin by it self and not attached to the frame. Cut it open and you will see a green wire. Take some wire(iused some speaker wire) i had lying around and slpice one end on to it. Run the wire through the frame on top of the trunk so it dosnt dangle any where.

Next, take the end of the wire and slpice it into the green/white wire thats comming out of the 3rd break light socket. and voila! thats it.



Pretty simple.
