06 TL interior lights upgrade?

I had a loaner 09 TL, and as ugly as it wuz, i loved the hyper white interior bulbs. so classy. I want to change mine, the maplights, the back seat ceiling lights, and the floor lights? Im sure someone has done this. Do yous guys kno the bulb codes or where to buy?

V-LEDs is my recommendation. These are the bulbs that I used in my TL-S. I will warn you I did go with the bright look.
Doors, Vanity and Trunk:
Domes:
Backups:
License Plate:
Glove Box and Center Console:
I used this:
but I've read that this might be better:
The glove box and console fixtures are side firing so the leds on the side of this last one might be better.
Good luck,

No soldering required. There are a number of threads on installation of these bulbs; pics even. If you have some specific question let me know. It really is easy to change these out.

Michael, if you need any help, hit me up. I'm also local to Jax. Another member "Drigo" is also local and has the bright LED's in his interior. Looks awesome. He has the black interior. Good to see another local member here.

Good luck,
Sorry for the bump...

But how many of each LEDs do you need for the doors, vanity and trunk? More importantly, how many for the dome lights? Just one LED per light source?

Great thanks in advance...I too am a major rookie with LEDs.

You need one bulb for each front door, there are two vanity lights (one for each sun visor) and one trunk bulb.

If you go with the recommended bulbs you only need one for each location.

Good luck,

What an appropriate topic. I just dropped off my 2009 TL loaner and thought the same thing about the LED interior lights and how much better they look. I had LEDs in my Bimmer.

Thanks for the info R-beach, I just ordered mine today. Any pictures?
