Rear Tail Lights by cia

Hi, the strangest thing happened to my rear tail lights on my 2003 Pilot. The section where the brake lamp is located, the small cap that covers the lamp popped out on both tail lights. The upper caps are still in place.The caps have dropped down to the bottom of the tail light assembly. I can't even remove the red lense to pop the caps back in place since they are factory sealed. I want to take a picture and send it to Honda. I wonder if this is a defect of some kind. Has anyone experienced this issue. I'm sure that when I'm driving and going over bumps, the caps are tossing around in the tail light assembly. Someone has suggested to use an exacto knife to remove the lense, but I think that once you open the seal it will always retain water afterwards even with a good silicone seal. Any ideas out there??????????

A lot of transmissions are filled through the dip stick tube. Is the tube large enough for a small funnel?

I was told by a dealership that the transmission should not be flushed, just replace the fluid?

What does the manual say?
 
How much more does a flush cost than replacing the fluid?

I'd just replace it myself if it's time. I don't believe in flushing (although some call it "power flushing").

If you want to replace the full fluid, I suggest go for a Fluid exchange. For a flush they pour in some kind of cleaner into your transmission and some of the residue will stay back in your transmission and it's not good.
