I have a 2018 accord sport does anybody know why the lower part of the trunk tail light doesn't light up. I had thought that I had a lesser trim but I have seen base accords with this trunk part lit up. (P.S. I bought the car used and it's been like that since I got it)

aren't those reflectors? they sell aftermarket lights that have led or bulbs in them but im pretty positive from the factory they're just reflectors.

I believe they are supposed to light up. I'm wondering if the previous owner might have installed some aftermarket taillights and then switched them back before selling (but perhaps neglected to connect the inside light electrical plugs)?

I opened up the trunk liner they are connected. The only thing I can think of is maybe a bad fuse, but I would assume that it's the same fuse for the main tail lights and those are fine

I checked mine this morning and, yeah, they light up on my 18 sport. I don't remember them lighting up on my wifes 18 EX-L when she had it. weird.

If your issue is moisture you may want to take a look at this thread - 2018 Accord Major Safety Issue. The issue in that thread is due to a cracked lens however it gives warning as how moisture in lights/light assembly's can cause havoc. Good luck on getting this figured out... keep us posted.

no not yet, pretty much have to buy both inner tail lights or buy a aftermarket set. but i dont see to many i like. some look like spaceship lights. i want more simple and stockish looking. im leaning towards these
