Rearview mirror, cabin filter, sunglass holder, LED's

Cool just did some maintenance in the dark lol. Pretty quick and easy.

Replace rear view mirror with new auto dim from Del Ray. Pretty quick and easy and kinda cold outside...in the high 40's outside. Used a flathead screwdriver and hammer to "gently" tap it out. Inserted the flathead through the hole in the headliner where the connection plug goes and gently tapped it out. 20 mins.

Sunglass holder thing was missing one light switch, replaced it with used one from ebay for $40. included in the 20 mins of rear view mirror replacement.

Cabin filter, never been replace at 115K. Filters were dirty, but not quite as bad as I have seen on here 20 mins, cause I had to razor blade the cover off.

Next job...
Got brakes on order through Brakemotive on ebay. front & rear, cross drilled and slotted with ceramic pad.

Replace all lights with LED's, trunk, front doors, front overhead lights, rear over head lights. just minutes. BUT I just noticed I forgot the one the glove box, gonna get that one later....

The mirror from Del Ray Acura in FL was $90 shipped. Just trying to give the Acura "TLC". Plus, I think all interior lights should be LED's, I don't like the stock yellow light glow. 6 104 LED's and one wedge style for the rear overhead. Lights up the interior so much nicer.

Where did you get the LED's from and what's the part numbers? That is something I have wanted to do for a while.

Correction...it should be T10/194 "not 104" LED. If you're not in a hurry, I would just get them from ebay. Most are from China with lower prices. The rear dome light uses a festoon type LED...not sure what size...38, 39 or 42mm. The more LEDs on the T10 and festoon type LED's the brighter I'll probably order more LED's later. My LED supply is running low RX7's, Escalade, TL, Pathfinder, parent's car, brother's cars...dwindled my supply

Did a little research...the rear dome light is a DE3175...which is equivalent to a 31mm Festoon LED...I actually might have put a bigger one in mine. Because I did have to stretch out the bracket. Of course I didn't really look since I was doing it in the dark, I had working LED and called it done. By the way...if I recall...my LED festoon was 4x4 light grid. You might want to confirm with someone.
