Replacing all light bulbs with LED's?
Replacing all light bulbs with LED's?
Hey Everyone,
I'm a new owner of an '07 Black/Black TL Type-S. Had it for almost 2 weeks now! Anyways, I want to replace all the bulbs in my car with LED's. Can someone confirm all the bulb sizes for me?
2 Door Lights = 194 wedges
Front Map Lights = 194
Rear Dome Lights = 194
License Plate Lights = 194
Reverse Lights = 921?
Trunk Light = ?
Turn Signals = 1157?
Foglights = H8?

Day Time Running Lights = 9006?
My thoughts are to replace the 194 bulbs with this:
WLED-WHP Pure White High Power
12 VDC Wedge Base bulb (194/168 type)
With High Power Pure White LED

Reverse Lights suggestions anyone? I'm thinking just regular Piaa X-treme White bulbs.
Turn Signals would be replaced with these:

Foglights with these:

DRL's with these:

When installing LED's in the turn signals, I need to install LED resistors. Can I just leave the resistors spliced and hanging from the Turn Signal wires, or does it get too hot so I must strap it down somewhere?
Any thoughts or suggestions would be a great help!

I thought turn signals were 7443. duno where you got 1157 from.

TLFourPlay cleared out the headlights of his '07 Type-S. He actually bought the 7443's and said they didn't fit. The owner's manual is wrong for the turn signals and fogs. Anyone else want to confirm?
As for why I want to change out the bulbs, I want everything to look pure white, rather than the dingy yellow stock bulbs.
acuraguy04 <= why would you say the led's would blow instantly? aside from the turn signals I listed, all the other led's I've listed should be plug and play.
