LED Blue Door/White Dome Lights Mod???!
Anyone know if this mod(on a TSX) is possible on the TL?!!? I LOVE HOW IT LOOKS! The guy that did it on this TSX got his LED bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com , This is definately a cheap mod I want to do next. I was wondering if the design were the same and if this is possible???! DOnt U guys love it?!

Should be easy enough, it's nothing fancy, just look in the manual and find out what bulbs they are and then where to find them. Looks good though, let's us know what you find out!

3 3022-4 LED Festoon bulb Blue (Dome replacement)
2 T13-B6 Blue LED bulb (Door replacement)
That's what I ordered, easy to replace, I used a kitchen knife to pop of the light covers, that's all. Make sure that the led bulb is pointing downward in the dome light.
You should try 6led in the dome and 4 in the door, or if you want it nice an bright in the cabin just go with 6led for the dome light and 6led for the doors as well.
I will take some pics of the bulbs and post them.

Thanks for the interesting post.
I think like the posters who feel it has a rice type of look, but to each their own. The doors don't look bad though, but I'd need to see them in person.

Just ordered mine...
I went ahead and decided to try this since it is plug n play and I love LEDs I ordered the 2 T13s for the Doors in Blue and ordered 2 of the 3022-4LED for the Dome, but I got these in white to see if they don't look any better than the stock bulbs. I also ordered 2 more of the 3022-2s but with 2 white LEDs instead of 4, that way I will have another set if the back domes use the same bulb or if the front 4 LEDs are too bright. Good cheap mod for under $20 (they only charge $5 for shipping no matter what you order so make up a list and stock up!)
Cool website though, all kinds of bulbs and colors without ridiculous prices!

Did I somehow missed these info? If so, appreciate anyone point out to me where (which page) in the manual.
Side note, 03 TL owner's manual has a lot more pages than the manual for the more technologically advanced 04 TL, go figure. It has instructions for replacing the interior lights, but I didn't see the list of replacement bulb types either. Maybe the 04 TL's interior lights are so userfriendly, we don't need instructions?

I think there will be some after-market tail-light assemblies that have clear turn signal lens soon. As one member here posted a thread about a group order of this tail-light housing from a manufacturer he contacted in China. Also, since the A-spec Concept car has clear rear turn signal lens, maybe it will be on the 05 TL's, if so, they'll be available as OEM parts, provided the 05 & 04 tail lights are interchangeable, as often the case with most recent production cars.

TL-SHAWD 6MT Rocks!
nice LED info for the doors!
I like the look a lot.
has anybody installed LED lighthing in the engine compartment ?
old cars used to use mercury switches (which is a no-no now),
so how do you make the LED's turn on and off automatically when you open the hood?
I like to have blue and white (selectable) LED's for the engine lighting when I open it. - thanks all for your postings.

There are multi-color LED's you can buy from Radio Shack etc, but I don't think any direct bulb replacement LED's are multicolor. It'll be an interesting project to design & assemble; maybe even small production quntities for a niche market.

T13-B6 Blue LED bulb
12VDC Blue 6-LED Wedge Base bulb
measure 1 1/8 long by 1/2 inch maximum diameter (194/168 type)
$ 2.99
just making sure....is this the right bulb to purchase for the 04 TL...for the doors?
i think blue would be the hottest since most of the interior lights are blue
