Does Polarg not make M-12 bulbs? I went to my perf shop asking for them and the guy tried to push M-14's on me. I thought I read someone saying that M-14 is like half as bright as M-12. Maybe I'm just going crazy or something. It's been a long week.

I knew it! Trying to dump inventory on me. Last time I talk to that guy again.

I have the same problem when I go into some performance shops, when you say Acura TL, they seem to have selective hearing and only hear the Acura part and automatically think Integra. They don't seem to carry the M-12 as much as the M-14.

I'm going to order my whole set of lights from the internet. Too bad Tim only carries a small selection of those. I want M-12's in my blinkers and backup lights. Do they fit in the backup lights? I heard people mention M-12 in backup light, but your post in the other thread says M-6.

BTW, my name is Erwen Liu Tang, so that's where my sn comes from. My friend in HS was a MK fan and he thought it sounded like Lukang, so nickname stuck.

I think M-6 is correct for backup lights. I'll know for sure when I open my lights up this weekend because I'm going to put some new ones there as well.

M-12 are just 1157 type bulbs, double filiment bulbs so they can be lit when headlights are on and also blinker when signaling. Others also makes some of these bulbs for example the PIAA 19228. I'm thinking about the Polarg G-34, they are not quite clear when off but they are amber when turned on.

Where are you gonna order them from the internet? I have a few sites in mind but if you know of a good one that would be cool.

I just found this site. It has decent prices and a big selection.

BTW, how do you get to the door and tail lights? Is there a lot involved?

Edub-TL

I did my doors last week, no tool required. Just used my fingernail. But if you had a small flat screwdriver, it probably is easier. I had to use one for the Dome light cover as well as the map lights which are both a ***** if are you not in a good position to pry them off properly and don't want to damage the plastic.

The tails are just like removing the tails themselves. I know there are some instructions somewhere on this site. Just pop the trunk, open the lining to get a the bulb, find bulb you want to replace, twist the connector out of the lense, and then twist the bulb. When done just twist it back in place.
