In my new 2012 TSX Tech in VBP, the stock footwell lights are already blue? Has anyone heard of this? Didn't realize it came with the lights there in blue but it looks pretty damn good haha

I'm looking to buy some led interior from ijdmtoy
(shown here:http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Acura-TSX-S...ura_smd_11.htm)
However, I heard that even the "xenon white" color looks a bit too blue. I tried superbrightleds on my wrx and it seems a little bluish as well. Is there anywhere else along the $30-$40 price range I could get the pure white color?

I got mine in from wardenjp this weekend... installed them, and it looked great until I blew a fuse. Now only the license plate and door lights work.
Any idea on which fuse I blew?

so the '11 has a chrome piece that blocks license access from the outside? or can you still take out the black housing with the chrome still on?
i messed up the clips in the trunk and i prefer not to do it that again

I took off the trunk liner to get to the license plate lights. Only broke 1 clip because I leveraged the wrong piece. The other 3 came off unscathed. I think on the first page shows how they did it through the trim ...

if you try to take off the chrome piece, you might break it or scuff it up. i believe someone messed theirs up trying

i'm guessing the former cuz they ended up getting loads of business from local dealerships.

yes its for the whole kit. yes you get to choose whatever color you want. i'm not sure what happens after 10. i'm guessing maybe a bigger discount? i'll ask for more specifics later. i just asked how the group buy page was going and he told me it's up. i'll ask for me details. you guys can ask on the page as well. might get a faster response than me.

Here's a good vid that shows all the different colors available for lights:
Also, if you do the group buy, you can custom your lights for free instead of the usual $6.00 fee.

great vid tsxyluster but that video doesn't do the lights justice cuz the lights in the store are on. i'm telling you, when i unlock my car, you can see the complete inside of the car so if you like super bright lights, this kit is for you. my friends were asking if i even had tints with how bright the lights are.
people complained about the vanity lights being too bright so they changed them and made them less bright. I have a set of each cuz I like both but I'm gonna change to the dimmer ones soon. just been too lazy to do it.

I was going to get this package and these for the vanity mirrors (x2 for 4 total).
Does that cover everything? Has anyone dealt with this guy? Good reviews on ebay plus free shipping. Might see if I can just pick them up since I live in Chicago too.

FYI - all 4 doors and the trunk/cargo were all the same bulb and the two map lights and the dome were the same bulbs. Interestingly, they all worked fine so I suppose you don't really need all the different bulbs for the different lights.
Finally, I read in an earlier post that the map lights flicker when you start the car. I was hoping that mine wouldn't, but they do. Is it the bulb (i.e. cheap bulbs) or do all of them do this?
EDIT: One last thing, when I was popping out the right license plate light, right when it popped out, my trunk popped open too?! I thought I may have sat on my key fob but it was actually in the driver seat. I read in an earlier post someone severely damaged something (electrical?) when changing the license plate lights too and that he/she had to take the car to the dealership to get it fixed. It may just be a coincidence but it also may mean those license plate lights are connected to something unknown dealing with the electrical system of the car so be cautious. If I were to do it again, I think I would disconnect the battery just to be on the safe side.

Thanks Mrstak. Just as an update, the set did not include the vanity bulbs. The set includes 4 for the doors, 3 for the two maps lights and dome light and 1 for the trunk/cargo. When I bought the set, I assumed trunk/cargo meant license plates. I was wrong because I found out the license plate has two bulbs.

Goodbye.
when did you buy the set? he's made changes to the set since he first made it. added bulbs, fixed some issues, etc. the flickering thing i think happens to all non-halogen bulbs. i've had that with all the different led bulbs i've ever used. don't think its an issue with the product.
