Thanks for the handy list!

I think I'll print that out and keep it with my owner's manual.

Bob

 

this should be a sticky or go in the DIY section!

 

thanks!

 

speaking of DIY section.... the damn thing is locked and still isnt clean and there are a TON of mods in the form that arnt included in it!

 

theres a new non stickied one floating around
search for diy collection.

 

i seen that one. but its not sticky. and so many ppl replied "this is great" that it kinda killed it. (like i'm doing to this thread lol)

 

umm, looks like he just used http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...lacementGuide/

..dun rly need to be stickied IMO.

 

^ exactly what went through my head

 

Are 194's interchangeable for the 168's? I've noticed that there are more aftermarket options for the 194s. What I really want are ultra bright white license plate bulbs....and I'll probably get the silver bulb (but blink amber/yellow) for the front turn signal since the lens itself is clear.

 

Does anyone know what bulb sizes are in the AC, and the Cluster Guide? I know shifting knob has #74

There's kits on ebay but they do not say the bulb sizes...

 

yeah same my ac lights are gone..
wats a map light?? btw

 

Thanks, i needed that lists

 

i was gonna get me some led lights for my map and cortsy light and my door panel lights but when i went to autolumination.com they only got 194 but on the title it says 194 and 168. are those the same or what and which leds should i get

 

anyone

 

Yes, 194 and 168 are base.

 

AC bulbs on non-navi? anyone??

ugh cant even find the blub kit on ebay anymore

 

is there a specific one i should get so its bright and it will fit

 

so the 194 and the 168 are the same right

 

Yes

 

Is the lighting for the 03 TL the same as the 02?

 

^ yes

 

what are the lights on the sides of the mirrors in the visors called, i looked and the bulbs look different than all the other ones

 

^ Vanity lights.

 

You need D29mm bulbs

 

r they the same for the 03 tl

 

what the same???
the post before yours is over a month old

before you buy the bulbs, make sure they are the correct size, don't get too small and don't get too long... I ordered 194 SMT III 38mmx11mm x18 LCDs thinking 18 lcds are pretty damn bright, they are, but they were too long, wouldn't fit inside the housing for the map lights. The biggest you can fit in the map housing is 30 mm, maybe 32, but I would go with 30 mms. And the festoon bulb for the dome light 3175 bulb, get size 36 or 37 mm, don't get 31 mm, too short, it'll work, but it won't sit well. And if the bulb doesn't work, just rotate the bulb 180 and it should work. Hope this helps.

2001 TL- guessing its from 99-01

OEM 168 bulb size 25mm

Map Light -168 bulb size 30, maybe 32mm

Trunk Light - 168 bulb size 28 mm

Dome Light 3175 size 36-37mm

 

What kind of bulbs go in the dash if I want to change my dash lights to the blue Ones on ledautomotive. Or to just replace them for future references.

 

thanks for list

 

thanks for the list - just want to confirm. My 2000 TL (stock everything) 's driver side low beam bulb is gone. (the one that is white)
Is this the correct replacement? Just want to confirm before i order it.

Low beam headlamp
HID-D2R

And the DIY for this is - https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9056124 and https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/diy-installing-headlight-bulbs-2nd-gen-tl-%5Bpics%5D-872082/, correct?
Thanks in advance

 

^ Yup-

 

Thanks, ordered this off ebay http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Philips-HID-...Bulb-/81625943.

 

great post, thanks

 

need a quick help. I installed the bulb I bought above in the left headlight. Now it is not focused on the ground like 10-20 feet away, but like 50-70 feet. If I am parked in garage and turn these on, the left one focuses quite above the right one vertically.

Is there any way I can adjust the height to make the visibility better?

thanks!

 

It sounds more like the bulb isn't seated right in the housing. Try making sure the bulbs notches line up and it sits flat in the reflector.

 

Hey Cheekoo, as mentioned.....if ya were not previously having the issue prior to replacing the headlight bulb, then recheck your work.

If things still don't seem right, there are adjustors for headlight aiming. Check previous posted threads for the procedure. Was the car wrecked ?

 

nope, i dont think there was an issue before.
Car has not been in a wreck.

I will check the placement and housing this weekend. thanks for the responses. Will post here what i find.

 

update - it worked. I reseated the bulb in the housing, and now it is very well aligned.
