RL Glove box light

Does anyone know what size is the bulb inside the glove box. I'd like to replace it in LED. I saw a round cover. is the cover screw on snap out? I don't want to put force and break it.

Thanks!!!!

Look in the online service manual in the 2G RL garage. Let us know what you find out!

Thanks for the link however I didn't find the answer. I'll call the dealer and ask in the parts department.

Thanks

I ended up calling the dealer and I was told that it's one whole piece light bulb with housing.

That is true, it is
Acura Part 34254-S3N-003
OEM Acura LAMP ASSY., GLOVE BOX

MDX '07-'09 RDX '07-'09 RL '05-'09 TL '04-'07 TL '08
TL '09 TSX '04-'07 TSX '08

However, I have found references in the TL parts for the aforementioned T5 light bulb. Google is amazing "bulb for 34254-S3N-003"

Well Chas2 I called my local dealer and the guy couldn't give me a straight answer. I will ended up opening the light housing to see the actual bulb so I can order my led replacement.

I just tried to take a look at mine. Snapped the lens cover off and think I just made a mistake. It appears to be glued on and now the bulb housing is loose above the glove box housing. Any suggestions?

It would appear that the part is now all a single assembly for about $7-8 from an internet parts store. Del Rey Acura is easiest one I have found to order from (acuraoemparts.com), though not necessarily the best priced.

You can use an led light bulb for the acura rl. I bought it on ebay "10 pieces of Brand New, Cool White 7000K T5-5050-1SMD " seller yitamotor, item # 251581311804

IIRC, the glovebox light assembly twists counterclockwise in its mounting location and then comes out. It'll be on a kind of short leash due to the wires, but you can take the housing apart pretty easily and replace the bulb. It is a T5.
