LED trunk bulb

I can't see anything in with the dim trunk light. Can it be swapped to brighter LED?
Are all the lights in cabin LED? It's very dim can't it all be swapped out for LED as well?

The internal LED lights in the +18 RLX really suck. It is around the same level of candlelight compared to my MDX. Doesn't look like we can upgrade the cabin LEDs; but, I was able to upgrade the two trunk LEDs to these from Amazon, $16:

Much better. I never understood why car makers cheap out on a single LED bulb that make such a huge impression.

Do you remember which bulb type it was? I am trying to replace the ones in mine. Also would you happen to know if the footwell lightning is possible to change to white LEDs? they are yellow haha

Looks like the original LED bulb seller isn't on Amazon anymore. I checked the order from December 2019 and only a description is listed for the order:

GTINTHEBOX 2W High Power Xenon White Full LED Trunk Cargo Area Light Assembly for Honda Acura,Powered by 18-SMD LED Diodes - 1 Pcs GTINTHEBOX 2W High Power Xenon White Full LED Trunk Cargo Area Light Assembly for Honda Acura,Powered by 18-SMD LED Diodes - 1 Pcs



I order two LED bulbs and it was the entire light assembly that plugged into the RLX electrical plug. Honda/Acura usually use the same parts in similar applications. Might be getting harder to find parts specific to discontinued RLX; but, the same part with a different part number for the TLX or Accord might work. I was able to update my MDX to brighter LEDs in the footwells. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to replace the dim yellow LEDs for the RLX. My RLX has an ebony interior with dark tinted windows and it looks like a cave inside my RLX at times.
