Post Bulb Codes

I tried doing a seasch under replacement bulbs on here and could not find what I was looking for.

I need to know what the equivalent code is for all the bulbs in the car. I'm looking to replace some of them with LEDs and all the manual seems to give me is a list of the volt and wattage but not the common number. ie: for the Front Turn is it a 1175 or a 3175 etc?

Can anyone help me with a comprehensive list or a site for the information?

Thanks.

Well, I only know the interior led #.
The one on the door is 194 and the one for the map light is 31mm dome light. I have both changed to blue LED.

The interior lights are all 168/194 bulbs - the same LED can be bought for each.

On the map lights and rear dome, those are call Festoons 3022

The cubby hole is a #74 bulb

On the outside lights, you have more 168/194 (parking lights), 7440 (on the reverse lights) and 7443 (on a few break lights).

Hope this helps.

Visit www.superbrightleds.com I bought all my stuff from them plus their prices are just about unbeatable.

Turn signals: 7440s (but you can't put LEDs in these slots unless you put a capacitor; will blink like you have a broken bulb.. RL-650 Load Resistor kit at superbrightleds.com is what you need. I didn't do LEDs in my turn signals, but the rest of mine are. Basically every non-blinking light on my car is an LED excluding the H1s, H11 fogs and HIDs)

Reverse Lights: Haven't found a 7440 clear, so I used a 7443 clear and bent the dual stage pins into a single stage.

Tail Lamps: (correction, constant on) 168/194

License Plate: 168/194

Front/Rear Markers: 168/194

Glove Box: #74 bulb

Door Courtesy Lights: 168/194

Trunk Cargo: 168/194

Thanks! I would have thought the signals would have worked being that the mirrors already have LEDs in them for the turn signals.

In any case, thanks for your help!

how many 168/194 lights in the TSX ?, and do I need a REd LED for the Parking?
What does this mean "Tail Lamps: (correction, constant on) 168/194"<--- Do you need to mod to replace the Tail Lamps?
