Well, I just picked up my first car and it was a 2006 Acura TL and I wanted the change the lights into LED. I don't really know how to change them or how to choose them out so could someone help me? Thanks in advance.

 

^ Hi lyleee! Changing out the LEDs for the dome lights is pretty easy compared to some of the other lights we have. You can probably do a search and find some pictures what to do, but here's what I remember:

1. use a butter knife to pry the translucent lens off- they should pop off with a little leverage. I remember prying from the middle of each fixture first.
2. taking out the bulb is much easier if you wrap the bulb with some non-skid rubber material so your fingers have added grip to pull out the bulb. I used the stuff that you place on the bottom of shelves.
3. The door lights are very easy to replace by popping off the lens cover.
4. I gave up on the vanity lights because I was afraid of tearing the material around them so I don't have any good advice on those. The licence plate light and trunk light are also harder to do but manageable with a little patience.

 

good advice.

The question is: "Which Lights"? The ambient green or the map/dome/door filament bulbs?

 

do u mean wat the bulb numbers are?

 

for the interiors (minus vanity) you want 904's
for the reverse lights you want 921's
for the license plate you want 194 wedges.

Get as many LEDs as you can on each platform.

I got 9-LEDs for my interiors; sometimes it's lacking.

Welcome to AZ

 

Yeah, that's what I wanted to know, and what brands are good and reliable. I don't really wanna spend a whole bunch on lights.

 

I don't kind of know what like dome and vanity lights are soo.. could someone help me out on those too? I just wanna change like the lights in the front/back seats, door lights, and license plate. And probably add lights like under my feet, trunk, etc. I still don't know how to choose parts either. :X

 

The dome lights are the two reading lights in the front and the one ceiling light in the back. The vanity lights are for the courtesy mirrors.

 

Could you help me find lights that would fit?

I want something like he has.

 

Doesn't he say what he ordered in the post?

A lot of people posted in that thread, so not sure who your talking about.

 

I want lights like "sixsixfour". Not sure how to find them though. Or where to get them.

 

Best bet is to send me a PM and ask. I'll send him one for you.

 

Some people say they blow a fuse when trying to install the LED bulbs.

i disconected the battery before doing mine.

 

i bought those (that first batch) from Super Autobacs a while back. they ran about $30 a pair for those wedge LEDs (they had 3 on each bulb).

i currently run 24 LEDs on my domes, which are much brighter than what you see on that pic. those i got from my friend locally. i dont know where he gets them and i dont know if they are available online.

 

Ooh. Those lights looked really good too.

 

i'll show you how mine turned out.

i bought 6 of these in white


they are really bright and do the job very well. people say it's really nice because it's white and it shines everything rather than just a little orange light.

i used those for the following

2 map lights
2 vanity lights
2 rear domes

just so you're clear,

all the interior bulbs are actually 194. you do not need to change the type of bulb because they are all the same.

i would suggest getting the same ones from the dome into the door lights, license plate, and trunk light.

the trunk light is mounted horizontally and i bought the directional one... now only half my trunk is luminated. get the same one for the interior

the license plate mount is diagonal and it's not straight down on the plate, so the directional one worked out fine and i think you'll want the directional one on the reverse lights, but it does not fill the lense properly so there is a hot spot.





i'll take pictures of the doors and trunk/reverse/license plate tomorrow

 

Could you take pictures in the dark like a garage or something? If you could that is. Where and how much are those lights?

 

taking pics in the dark is the same as those i've taken outside at night time... the camera will always make them brighter than they seem.

the lights fill very well on the inside and i'm pretty happy with them. it doesn't shine that much because i have ebony leather on the inside and black doesn't reflect light that well. but when you're inside, it's like having a florecent light above you.
