Hi guys, just got my 2021 RDX.
The dome/map lights are weeeeeak lol.
Those in the back look like they could be swapped out easily, but any idea about those in the front?
First time with a "luxury" vehicle so it comes with LEDs, but does not seem as user friendly to replace as in other cars (my Civic and CX-5 I could swap them out easily for super bright LEDs).
If anyone has any idea how to replace the dome/map lights, mainly the front ones, please let me know (assuming it is even possible).

Thanks!

 

Someone here already looked into this and you can’t change the front map lights. They are soldered directly to the circuit board. So unless you have some electronics skills and find something compatible it’s a no go. As for the back I don’t know?

 

You’re stuck with the OEM LEDs but, I changed the incandescents in the puddle lamps, visor vanity, and glovebox lights in minutes.
Try to be satisfied with those tiny upgrades. Rear turn signals as well.

 

Thank you all for your guidance. Love this community.
I plan to make these same LED changes as you!!
Very unfortunate that the dome lights can't be switched out. They are pathetic for a $40K car when I can do a better job in my CX-5 lol

If anyone ever figures out if the interior LED lights for the 2nd row back seats can be replaced, let me know, but right nows they seem like they're a whole unit too and not easily swappable ):

 

I would just prefer to be able to turn the rears off all together.
