Lighting Up the TL

I'm looking to replace nearly every light on/in the TL but cant find all the right bulb sizes and information on where to get them(maybe not searching right). Anyone with any experience with different companies and different applications

Looking to Replace-
Hi/lo beam
fogs
turning signals
interior dome lights
reverse lights
side markers
DRL(maybe)

Don't forget the LED license plate lights!

see the mod I did below to a WHITE LED. I wish I could drive behind myself to stare.

White LED License Plate
V-LED


Left is LED, Right is stock bulb. Notice the white vs. yellow color.


Night shot.


They are very bright and it's a very simple swap of the bulb. No messing with electrical.

Remember folks, seems like the search function is not working well on this site (there is a google trick you can do tho, but most folks don't know that). Great info though, since the 2008 manual online AND the sylvania osram site have the WRONG info for the fogs. Sylvania says its a 9006, manual says HB4 (same as 9006). You are absolutely correct, it's an H8.

If you guys ever need the list for future reference, here's a really good shortcut to get there:

google.com and type in "3g bulb size". It will be the first one on top.
