Can't say for sure,but watch some YouTube videos on later model Acura LED interior lighting swaps and it may give you enough insight.

Pretty sure all newer Acuras will already be LEDs that hardwired in. There is no bulb to replace.

Wrong answer. Pencils down. Every interior light and even the rear turn signal lights on the 2019 Acura RDX are incandescent. They can all be retrofitted to LED and will be brighter.

Interesting, I knew the rear turn signals are incandescent but did not know about the dome lights. In both my TLX and our MDX the dome lights are LEDs.


They seem like LEDs in this video, but then again I don't own an RDX so I could be wrong. Definitely a bean counter move especially for an Acura at this day and age.

Are you suggesting that the fine manual is wrong? But if it makes you happy, tear apart your dome lights and check it out.

Point of clarification Mr. President: By interior lights, I was referring to Vanity Lights 1.4 W, Door Courtesy Lights 3.4 W, Glove Box Light 1.4 W,. Exterior, Rear Turn Signal Lights 21 W (Amber/Silver). I have changed all these lights in my 2019 RDX Tech to LED. Apologies.
