o wow the TL does have SMD. lol I was basing my knowledge off my mom's GS, which as LED bulbs. My bad guys

Mr. NC

Just did mines today, all bulbs got from warden_jp except for the map + dome which I got from another seller. Install was easy and it makes such a big difference. Anyone replace their reverse lights yet? wanna see what that would look like.

ed_423

^ someone has. Iwanna get it too cuz of my dark rear tint

Mr. NC

For that we gotta go through the trunk liner right? just removing all the snaps etc...

ed_423

i think so haha

TSXKid2010

Just received my reverse bulbs in the mail today. Will install when I get the chance to!

TSXKid2010

LED Reverse bulbs are not as bright as stock....
At least the ones from amazon weren't.

Mr. NC

Ah ok not changing those then lol

TSXKid2010

Yeah I'm disappointed....
Oh well I left them in cuz the LED towers look cool.
LOL.

Mr. NC

LOL that is a case of Form > Function

TSXKid2010

Guilty as charged.
LOL.
I mean to me they look about the same brightness.
And since I paid 20 for them, I might as well use them instead of stock which are the same brightness....right?

KillerG

Yes. I fully support your using them. Plus by using LED lights you are saving the environment and ending global warming.

The polar bears will thank you later

Mr. NC

Same brightness but whiter color I will assume and there's nothing wrong with Form > Function if that wasnt the case we wouldn't have fashion in the 1st place or.....Bosozoku style body kits, or Oni Camber or....Fast & the Furious LOL

+1 on saving Polar Bears

TSXKid2010

Form > Function = Stance Nation! LOL.

Mr. NC

Not gunna lie thats where I got it from LOL

Just changed out the map lights today with 12 led. How bright is it? way way to bright

TSXKid2010

Sounds like something I'd want! Super bright! LMFAO

MattB07TL

That's what I thought to until I put them in lol. I read about someone on here going with 6 led and saying they were pretty bright so I found these 12 led bulbs on Ebay.. There intense you pretty much have to put your hand in front of your face when you get in the car lmao Probably going to have to switch em out... .. here's a link if you wanna try them out

i think the max inside your car should be 6-9 SMD's for the map lights, and a 12 SMD for the dome light. im just debating how many i want for the license plate because i want it bright enough to look nice, but not so bright that its well, too bright. like reflecting off the license plate so you cant read it lol

MattB07TL

I have the 5 smd's in the license plate light there not to bright and look good

russel082581

^ what Matt said, I had two 5 LED bulbs that pointed forward(down) on a silver TL and it looked nice except because they pointed down it lit up the ground as much as my plate! so now im going with two 5 LED retractors in white that will lite up the plate more. the ones i had on the TL were nice but a little to 'look at me i have LED tag lites!' haha, i would like it more subtle like a Lexus so im going with 'warm white' not the bluish white. but to each his/her own.

I also have the 5 smd's in my license plate lights, and with a smoked LP cover, 5 smd are too dim.

2+ years later these LEDs are still awesome. holding up really well.

pbhak002

Hey, does anyone know if these bulbs work with the map/dome lights in the 09 TSX? It looks the same as the ones posted on the first page but it doesn't say the type so I'm a bit wary. I did message the guy about them but he hasn't responded yet.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Was gonna get 2 orders of these for the map and dome lights. So I'd be using 3 out of the 4 and I'll keep the 4th as a backup I guess.

mkeefe

Hey guys,

I noticed this post is from a few years back and was curious if anyone had an updated list of lights for the 2011 TSX. I'd like to change out the

- Dome light
- Map lights
- Vanity lights
- Door lights
- License Plate lights

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Matt

Victor94

the first page on this thread has all the items except on the back dome lights get the 31mm not the 36mm =] i just did mine the other day

mkeefe

@Victor - Okay, thanks. I just wanted to be certain they'd work on the 2011. I will build an order now, thanks again.

Matt

mkeefe

Just ordered all the parts, as soon as it arrives I know what i'm doing!

Matt

Victor94

KillerG

Can anyone confirm the bulbs in the ebay posting I put up a couple posts above? I'm itching to order...

russel082581

as killerG already posted(i know he's a smart a$$ sometimes lol) but he was telling the truth this time! they are all the same and YES the 6 led festoon 31mm is for the front two map AND back dome.
