I go with VLEDS. Pricey but quality. I've been using VLEDS LEDs for over 10 years.
I went with 5K LEDs in dome, cargo, doors.
I didn't bother with a vanity light and glove box change.
Just did fog light bulbs with VLEDS H11's.

The 3175 is thick but I didn't have a problem installing it.

I'll probably do the license plate bulbs but VLEDS choices are too bright for my taste.
If the stock license plate bulbs face down, then VLEDS has one LED bulbs that would work for me.

Was there any trick to installing any of these bulbs? Noticed there weren't details in the manual, so wanted to check to see the technique, before breaking anything!

Looks great, by the way.

Appreciate the insight.

2017 rdx base with vled 5500k


insert tool and lift up slowly and with other hand assist from inner bottom edge of lens. to close - insert top first and press bottom

flipped side ways to reduce brightness

left (side way facing) right (forward facing)

insert tool back and corner area gently as you wiggle (slowly)

put two fingers at bottom and pull up while pulling it outwards gently or use tool while pulling

view pic at tabs before opening

pull down with hands and/or use tool to locate gap at corner area to assist
start, please view pics first.

visor light - use small thin blade screwdriver or similar tool and gently pry from bottom opening tab and assist with your fingers (gently).
"i turned the bulbs side ways to lessen the brightness, it was blinding at 5500k."
depending on brand, i had to flip it over when it didn't lite up.

bottom door - first look under neath and locate small opening. use two fingers and apply very light pressure upward and pull out at the same time.
or use screwdriver with it (carefully, don't force it!).

rear seat dome light - insert screwdriver back of light cover corner area and gently wiggle s/driver in and pry it off slowly!

lift gate - use two hands and gently squeeze downwards (gentle pressure) or use screwdriver to locate small opening to access at the gap.
