All you need to do is use a brake light/tail light socket from a Honda Pilot.
It still has the same shape as the OE one no grinding

What year? I am assuming 2008 or later. All I can find is an overall harness with 3 sockets. 2 of the 3 sockets on that harness seem they would work. I am starting my projects this winter and would like to do this when I put in the light.

Thanks, I'll do some digging to see what diagrams I can find with a part number

Looks like a full wire assembly
33502-SZA-A02 (2009 - 2012)
(2) 7443 sockets
(1) 194 socket
are included on that assembly

Need to find a junk yard to cut one off from

Good research

Went to the junk yard over the weekend
The 2009 Pilot did not have the same socket as pictured or noted the number of earlier.

I did find a Toyota Matrix, maybe a 2006 that had a match. It is the same as a few other cars for Toyota. 81555-02210
The upper socket is for a 7443 bulb with 3 wires and the odd triangular shape to it. I will see if it fits once I get the rear light I ordered this morning.
