Pieced together my whole set from eBay for a little under $22. That includes map/dome/vanity/courtesy door/trunk and reverse lights.
Overall I'm really happy with them. My only complaint is that the map and dome light is slightly more blue than the rest (about 6000k and everything else is about 5000k)

The lamp housing in the glove compartment is about 1" diameter, use a small screw drive to pry it out, the wire leads are about 2" long.
However I can't find a replacement LED for this tiny bulb.
If anyone has replaced it, can you pls let us know what LED you have used here.
Thank you.

^ From what I saw when cleaning my mats was that the foot well light is the same setup. So it might be easier to experiment on that first. I might just solder a random white LED on it lol

Thanks for all the info and pictures in this thread. It made everything a lot easier. I ordered these bulbs months ago and waited this long to do it cause I thought it would take forever and would be harder to install. It actually went pretty smooth. 15-20 minutes maybe for all of them but the license plate lights. I just installed mine yesterday and they look good. I ordered from warden_jp on ebay. http://www.wardenjp.com/stores/
I ended up with an extra bulb though because the trunk light comes in a pack of 2. Not a big deal though.
Vanity Mirrors
1pc 31mm Vanity 3 SMD LED bulb
Colors: Xenon White
$2.49 x 4= $9.96
Map Lights (2 front-1 back)
1pc 31mm Festoon 8 Power SMD LED bulb
Colors: Xenon White
$4.30 x 3 = $12.90
Trunk
2pcs 194 501 T10 5 Power SMD LED Wedge Bulbs
Colors: Xenon White
$3.50 x 1 = $3.50
Doors Puddle lights
2pcs 194 501 T10 Clear LED Wedge Bulbs
Colors: Xenon White
$1.50 x 2 = $3.00
License Plate
2pcs 194 501 T10 Flank 1W High Power LED Wedge Bulbs
Color: Xenon White
$6.00 x 1 = $6.00
Subtotal = $35.36 USD
Shipping and handling $4.00 USD
Total $39.36 USD
The other thing is I wished the door lights spread out more. But over all I love the white clean light over the ugly ass orange yellow light.

Map lights
I'm not sure if this is the right thread for my question but... Just picked up my 2012 TSX wagon yesterday. Can I have the map lights come on and go off automatically when I turn the engine off? I'm not ready to change bulbs yet, but the car is so much darker than my old TL when I open the door. Besides changing the bulbs, are there any settings I can change to give me more light?

I got my bulb socket to fall into the door like ssjoeboe9 mentioned on here previously. I was able to get out fairly quickly using a small flat head screwdriver. This is how I did it: Insert the flathead into the gap between the bulb and its socket and push in pretty hard. It will wedge in there, now orient the bulb so the notches on the edges line up with the openings on the sides. Pull the bulb out, and when the flathead screwdriver comes out of the wedge, grab the bulb with your fingers and pull it the rest of the way out.

I love mine too (5000k) and for now I have set to its full brightness level. I still have to take a pic of the license plate...

I installed mine today too! A fuse was blown after my dick neighbor decided to help me install the trunk light. Luckily, there is a shop nearby that was still open at 9pm and they replaced the blown fuse for $15...

Everyday I'm rofling
Peel that blue coating off your door sills. It's supposed to come off. It's like the plastic that's on all new cell phones/electronics.
