Light bulbs -> LED
Does anyone have the stock bulb numbers. I'm looking into switching over to LED's
The manual does have a small section on bulbs but it only list the bulb wattage and no the specific replacement bulb number.

I've checked sylvania's site before, they dont have the 2009 option
If I can find some nice LED brake lights, similar to the 2008 LED ones, I'll think about replacing them. Not so sure about the turn signals. I'll have to do some research on stuff I've heard on the different blink rates when installing LED's\
Thanks for the help guys

Thanks for the input. I did a little research in the 1G forums and the majority say that aftermarket LED replacement bulbs usually dont light up as bright as the stock. I think I'll leave them stock for the time being.

Have you looked at SuperBrightLeds.com yet?

Maybe there's a direct replacement for the Brake Light.

What about a 48-LED tower?
It's an interesting idea.
What about the "Brake Light Out" warning? Does the TSX even have one? I hope not..

I installed LED brake lamps last night and the 09 TSX does NOT have a "Brake Light Out" warning. All three brake bulbs were 63 watts total and now with LEDs less than 12 watts.
FWIW, the high mount brake light required making a special tubular "shim" to get the location of the LED to match that of the Filament in the original bulb.
This is what was used for the High Mount Brake LED (scroll down to the 8th LED in the URL below)

This is what was used for the Brake LEDs (scroll down to the 3rd LED on the URL above)
For the red rear side markers (scroll down to the second LED using the URL below)

Also, because of the complications in getting the High Mount Brake LED at the proper position, I cannot recommend its conversion to LED, unless you really like to tinker.
