Driver's ambient foot light bulb

Does anybody know what size/kind of light bulb to use for driver's ambient foot light (under dash) ?
Stock bulb is too weak, so i'm tryin to change it.
Thank you.

I didn't even notice the footwell lighting until I read about it on here. I'm curious why do you want brighter lighting on your feet?

The lighting must be dim, been driving the car for 3 months and didn't know there was any light downs there. Do they turn on & off automatically with the dome lights at entry & exit?

Check out the ambient lighting that comes in the European version of the car, it's a nice touch.

I think I read somewhere that that light can be controlled with the dimmer. When I first got the car I had it on the brightest setting and I could really notice the foot light, but now I keep my setting just past the "n" in the word BRIGHTNESS and I don't notice it anymore.

If I remember I'll confirm this and post back.

Lings in the UK will sell & ship anything, but the part number needs to be for the EU models.

^^+1 Lings in UK has been super helpful, almost all my mods to date came from them. Get the parts number from Honda Access website and then order them through Lings. Usually takes 5-10 days to have items delivered.

The description is not quite correct, it's not the front floor space but rather the inside console pocket. I have the console and rear kit together Part #08E18TL0620A , cost US$260 plus shipping.

I just picked up my 2010 TSX and there is no foot light on the driver's side. Which is odd, since the manual says it is on the driver's side. Passenger's side works fine. Is this normal? Should both sides work?
