DIY: Full LED interior conversion step by step

Hi Everyone,

I decided to start new thread for full LED interior conversion for Acura TL 04 to 08. I read all thread for LED conversion they are very helpful to me but no one is complete and step by step. Since I decided to upgrade my interior with LED I was really confused about number of LEDs I need, what type of LED. After reading all thread and DIY here is my conclusion.


First Step: total number of LEDs by location and type of LEDs



Data sheet for Interior LED conversion
Preferred LED Types:
Volt: 3.2v/ 3.5v (with resister)
12v or 14v for direct use
Current: 20 mA to 40 mA
CMD: min 8000 max 12000 (8500)
Type: 3mm round flat head LED, and PLCC-2 SMD
Color: Daytime White (6500K)
Blue

Position Type of LED Color Volt Description Qty.
1. HLF Unit PLCC-2 SMD or 3mm Blue 12v/3.5 Garage Memory switch 03

Non NAV, (with NAV add 4 for bottom)
3. Hazard/ Airbag 3mm with adaptor White 12v/3.5 Hazard light 01
3mm with adaptor Blue 12v/3.5 passenger airbag 01
4. Stereo PLCC-2 SMD White 3.5v rest all white 07
PLCC-2 SMD Blue 3.5v Disc, XM, AM/FM, Mode 03
5. Heater Switch 3mm with adaptor White 12v/3.5 not changing Hi/Lo indicator 02
6. Both Rear Door 3mm without adaptor Blue 12v/3.5 Door handle and storage console 04
3mm without adaptor White 12v/3.5 both window switch 02
7. Driver Door 3mm without adaptor Blue 12v/3.5 Door handle and storage console 02 PLCC-2 SMD White 3.5v All four Window Switch 04
PLCC-2 SMD Blue 3.5v pass. Window on/off switch 01
3mm without adaptor White 3.5v lock / unlock 02
3mm with adaptor white 12v/3.5 Number 1 & 2 on memory SW 02
3mm with adaptor Blue 12v/3.5 Memory 01
8. Pass Door 3mm without adaptor Blue 12v/3.5v Door handle and storage console 02
3mm without adaptor white 3.5v lock / unlock 02
PLCC-2 SMD White 3.5v Windows Switch 01
9. Gage control 3mm with adaptor white 12v/3.5v < info> & + brightness - 02
3mm with adaptor Blue 12v/3.5v Select/ MAX 02

12v for direct use or 3.5v with resistor 04pcs (without Adaptor)
PLCC-2 Type 3.5v 12pcs
3mm round 3.5v Only (I will use SMD) 04pcs

Blue 12v for direct use or 3.5v with resistor 07pcs (with Adaptor)

Maybe links would be helpful.

I'm not very verse in LEDs, but I've been searching by 194-168 numbers for most of the interior bulbs (dome, vanity, doors). I'm sure you are talking about the same thing, but since I'm not very familiar with the terms, those numbers are all I can search by.

he's not talking about the led bulbs your talking about. you're talking about the interior lighting, but he's talking about the lights on the radio unit that is usually green for base models and red for type-s.

the lights located in the driver side power window switch and the passenger side window switch... etc

see how in the type-s every button is red? this guide is to show how many bulbs you need of what to replace it to whatever color you want instead of type-s red or stock green.

thread title is kinda confusing, i thought he was talking about the interior 194 bulbs too
