I'm New Here

just signed up, im not huge into forums anymore cuz they take up too much of my time but I had some spare time so i thought i'd join up. Ive been through a few hondas, i had a 95 civic ex, 94 gsr, and recently sold my 01 s2k. I purchased a 04 TL today and love everything about it.

Anyway i had a question, my front left dome light and rear left dome light are both out. Is there a diy thread on how to replace those and what bulbs I need? Id like to just go ahead and replace them all with led ones, which bulbs do I get?

Welcome aboard!

I dont think there is a diy, but its pretty straight forward, pry out the plastic lens with a flat head and remove the bulb. I would recommend putting some leds from v-leds.com and your ride will look sweet

Post some pics up while you have a chance.

wow, you bought a Tl today? and your on the internet? When I first got my TL, I didn't stop driving it for like 6 hours, I was so happy.

anyways, its easy to remove the rear bulbs, just take a flat head, and go in between the reflectors and pull out. they should pop right out, with no effort, I know cuz I recently did a LED conversion on ALL my interior lights, really easy.

Congrats on the TL.

Welcome!

You got rid of an AP1 for your TL? May I ask why?

I've been close to pulling the trigger on a S2k a few times but just can't give up the TL.
