O.K. so far I have figured out how to change the one on the dome and the yellowish one in the cubby but I am still trying to figure out how to change the one above the cubby. I removed the top cubby and reached inside and felt around the area and felt the wires and what feels like a clip but cannot figure out how to remove it safely and was wondering if anyone knew if it is possible to remove the black trim peice above the cubby where the blue light comes from without having to remove the radio and climate controls on a non navi tsx..

For those of you who are wondering how is this done i will do a write up as soon as i find out how to do change the other light... My goal is to change all three to purple UV and also add some UV ambient lights to the insides of the door release..
something like this but still dont know yet since I am not planning on doing this till I know what color Im going with since i dont know how to change the blue light above cubby...

this is the specs of the bulb that replaces the ambient light in the dome...

And from what i felt i might have to use something like this to replace the others and create the new ones

good question..i'd like to replace LED near the moonroof and put an LED that is more bright.. let me know if you figure it out..

i wonder how bright can we get this bulb, and what the current one is?

i like how the TLs have two LEDs on the dome..

Well I think these might be brighter but who knows??http://superbrightleds.com/specs/74_t15.htm

thats the one I know how to do... all you need to do is

1 remove the diffusers
2 open the sunglass compatment
3 find the four hex screws and remove them
4 pull the whole thing down gently because there are wires attached to it
5 unclip the harnesses
6 push the homelink from inside out be carefull it comes out very easy
7 look for the four clips 2 on each side of box thing
8 push two clip from same side and open one side then repeat on other side
9 open the next box the same now you can take apart the insides
10 get a pair of pliers and grab led from the back and turn counter clockwise then pull out
11 now put in new led and put evrything back together and your set..

I might have left something out but if you are good at doing this type of stuff you should have no problem..

but thats why i wanted to wait and do a write up with pics..

Nope. There she is:

so how do i remove that without scratching or breaking anything..

TSX420J

damn thats exactly what i felt down there...



What about the two black screws??

Sebo1

well i know u can remove the trim without removing the headunit, i assume the led is right behind that trim piece? i don't remember how it is for non-navi but i'll check mines tomorrow.

OK here is the replacement bulb that goes where the yellow light comes from in the cubby..



74 Wedge Base LED bulb
Small Wedge Base LED bulb (74 type)
3/16 inch wide base, 13/16 inch overall length
Flat tipped LED produces wide beam angle

scroll down about mid-way and you should see the two bulbs needed for dome ambient light (T1.5 Instrument LED bulb )
and the yellow cubby light (74 Wedge Base LED bulb)
..
