Vleds.com has a fitment guide (through Slyvania) on their website, fill in your vehicle and it will have a complete list of the bulbs your car takes.

So are you telling me that I have to put $20 of my own money ontop of the $39 that was refunded to me in order to get the new bulbs?
Why was I told that I would automatically get the newer bulbs for free at no additional cost? I was told to just simply ship in old bulbs and I'll get the new ones.
I even obviously stated it on the RMA form I printed. As a matter of fact I quoted what I was told to type in the comments box to print on the RMA form. And yet this mistake still happened and now it's my responsibility to put my own $20 in plus shipping cost just to get the new bulbs?
I'm not very happy...

Having been behind the headlight a few times I'm pretty sure that'll either not fit or rub just enough. AND the only way to install it would be with the headlight off.

Process wasn't really as smooth as I was expecting but in the end I'm getting what I wanted.

thanks, they replied alittle while ago and set me up with a coupon code for the amount i got discounted last time with the 35% off, minus $6 for some reason which i asked about. Also gave me this link to a new kit they added to their site today for the TL: http://www.vleds.com/07-08-acura-tl-...rsion-kit.html. Already placed the order a few hours ago though so might have to redo it but it seems like it'll work out in the end

Ok so I finally received my 10XB LED replacements from V-LEDs today. I really want some input from other members that also have the 10XB LED bulbs. I don't know about you guys, but trying to install the 10XB LED bulbs were a PAIN IN THE FUCKING ASS. I have no idea what the hell is so different about them but I could not for the life of me install them without removing my bumper and headlights.
The OEM halogen bulbs I could easily remove and re-install without removing my bumper and headlights.
The 6XB LED bulbs I received the first time around was also easy to install and remove (had to remove them to ship back to VLEDs to exchange for 10XB versions).
I was easily able to install both of those bulbs above by simply reaching my arm in and just twisting the bulb to remove or to install and lock in place. Yes it might have been just a LITTLE tricky, but definitely achievable by anyone with patience.
Now these 10 XB LEDs are a different story..... I took a 30 minute lunch break and went home and tried to install these. I easily spent 10 minutes trying to just install 1 bulb. I bounced between the drivers and passenger side trying to see what the hell was going on. Wasn't able to install it so I said I would get back to it once I got off work.
I got off work and went right back at it for easily another 10-15 minutes and still failed. The bulbs have 3 notches that are supposed to line up to the ones on the DRL housing and once the 3 notches are lined up you are supposed to turn the bulb clockwise to lock it into place.
The 20-30 minutes combined I spent trying to install 1 damn bulb I kept getting only 2 out of the 3 notches lined up. When I would spin the bulb clockwise to lock it in place the bulb would sit crooked. It would either be angled facing up, facing down, or aiming to the left or right. It would never seat properly and face straight like it should.
After getting super pissed I finally had enough and decided to just drop the bumper and remove the headlights. With the headlights removed it was still a pain in the ass to get the damn 10 XB LED bulbs in place. It took A LOT more force than I expected to get the 3 notches lined up. Usually you could just line up the 3 grooves and slightly apply pressure to lock it in place. When I applied slight pressure only 2 of the 3 grooves would seat correctly and the last groove wouldn't even be in the cutout like it should...
In order to get all 3 grooves lined up and seated correctly I had to apply a EXTREME amount of force and at the same time spin the bulb clockwise to get all 3 grooves in and seated correctly. It was like this for both driver and passenger side. I mean it was so much force that I find it hard to believe anyone will be able to install these 10XB LED bulbs without having to drop the bumper and removing the headlights like I had to.....
You guys have no idea how frustrating it was. It was so infuriating that I even got to a point where I told myself I should have just settled with the 6XB LED bulbs because going through all this work just to get the 10XB bulbs to fit for the extra 125 lumens it has over the 6XB LED versions was not worth it.
Even now after everything is installed I still don't think it was worth the work. No pictures as of yet sorry.

How's it fit with the headlights on the car?
Looking forward to seeing pics of them on.

i just want to say that the 10 LED version is much brighter IMO. i am very very happy with how they look and the output they have. i'll put some pics up this weekend but overall i'm glad i sent them back to get the 10 LED version.
viet....do you have pics without the lights on to see how they sit in the housing? i'll do the same, maybe i was more content with a slight angle (not very noticeable) than when you were installing.

i sent my 6 LED version in last Thursday and today I received my 10 LED version (and also asked for 6k instead of 5k). it took me about 10 min to remove the towers and install these ones in, and they didn't take more force than normal. viet, maybe for some reason your tabs were thicker or something?

I really do think the tabs on my 9005 DRL bulbs were a bit thicker than anyone elses
