Honda reccomends replacing the blinker fluid every 6k miles too. Have you done that yet?

Hell yes, I have. The dealership did it for me because I didn't have the correct attachment for my MityVac. Just an FYI, i now have that attachment. Procedure is as follows:

1. Start at the light bulb furthest from the blinker cylinder. Use JG12953356 attachment on MityVac and apply vacuum until no bubbles are seen.
2. Repeat step one on next farthest socket.
3. Repeat until all blinker light bulb sockets have been bled. DO NOT PUMP THE BLINKER STALK!!! Doing so will render work already done useless and procedure will have to be repeated.
4. Replace all bulbs, making sure they are tight. Use only DOT7 blinker fluid dielectric grease in sockets.

Process may be repeated to also bleed any air from parking light and headlight circuits but you must use JG1984-245 and JG13485663 Do not turn off any lights until bulbs have been replaced or air may be drawn back into the system!!!!

Are they under pressure? Where can I relieve this pressure so I don't get hurt when I pull the plug wires?
i thought you had a b18c?
