My gf would like to get some bulbs for her 03 TL. She's found the silver bulbs that blink yellow/orange for everything but one part, the wedge bulb underneath the main turn signal. Does anything know what brand makes that bulb and where I can purchase it? Thanks!

I believe that this is the bulb you guys are looking for given the information off the Sylvania website:

Thanks for the replys everyone!

Just purchased the one recommended by subtledreamer! Thanks!

 

Nooooo problem, glad i can help ya out.

I can't help but noticed that you have 3k+ posts but i dont recall seeing you around at all. So i checked your previous posts and realized you haven't posted since '03! What's up with the sudden comeback if you don't mind my asking?

also are you one of the guys that created abunchofcars.com ?

 

Hehehe...I used to be very active both here (when it was still acura-tl.com and before Soopa acquired it too) and very much more so on acura-cl.com. Life for me got a bit busy and I couldn't devote as much time as I did before to the forums. Now that things have slowed down a bit, you'll probably start seeing me a bit more around.

Yes, I'm one of the guys who created abunchofcars.com =). It's a project that has flat lined for a long time. I'm actually thinking of starting it up again with a new design and everything. Get some new DIY guides, update some of the older ones on there and probably ask people to contribute if they so like. I still feel there should be a nexus of DIY guides for people who can use it and contribute to it in the same fashion as wikipedia does for knowledge. What do you think?

 

^^^that would be a great idea. I've thought about doing a thread like that but it would take forever. A website dedicated to it would be much easier to maintain and organize. If you need some help with it, I'll do anything I can.

 

That would be great! I would be looking for as much help as I can get on the site, in terms of writers and contributors. Designers would be welcome too. I'll let you know once it's up and you can sign up and we'll go from there.

 

I'll definitely help out... we shall start a new thread and throw in all the old threads and compile a comprehensive list of FAQs/DIYs/etc. Spring break sounds like a good time for me (next week), so I'll start the thread if it hasn't been already. Good to have an OG member back abunchofcars.com helped me a great deal in the beginning when I first got the car... clearing headlights, bumper/resonator removal, etc. I thank you sir!

 

That would be great, a thread in which people can post what kind of DIY guides they would like to see.

Email me for more details on the idea and structure of abunchofcars.com. I'll fill you (and anyone else interested) in on how the site will be setup, the goals, the way people will be able to contribute, etc. My email is rbui@sjsu.edu.

 

Just a warning, but the wedge chrome bulbs i had could not tolerate the heat, so the chrom ended up flaking off ... had flakes in the headlight assembly after that.

I found a pretty good matching wedge LED that goes with the APC 1156 bulbs ... its a true amber not yellow/orange ... The wedge was purches at autozone ... dont remembe brand, but it was a 4 LED wedge ... like a circuit board with resistors and 2 LEDs on each side.

 

jpadilla: that's good to know. I'll look into it and maybe purchase it as a backup. Thanks!
