07/08 Acura TL Type S T3 bulb

recently purchased a Type S with approx. 13 T3 around the Navi area, i know Type S has red buttons, my question is the OEM bulbs are red or just the buttons?
also, anyone know the part number? looking for replacement. i would go with LED but might be too bright for my taste at night.

These are unfortunately brighter than OEM. OEM from the dealer is crazy expensive - $50+. So I also when with aftermarket LEDs. I took the bulb covers off my OEM bulbs and did my best to cover the LEDs. it helped a little with the brightness difference.

... as long as you didn't buy cheap bulbs

The OEM lights are notorious for going out on all models. Don't be surprised if they go out in other places (radio cluster, window switches, map light console etc.) Switching them to LED bulbs is the best solution in my opinion. You will be much happier and buying OEM bulbs is terribly expensive as you've found out already.

Do a search in the Garage. DeathMetal has great DIYs on all sorts of interior light modifications. I've completed a handful of them myself.

I have one bulb out around the Nav unit as well as the one for the emergency flashers. Anyone know what the right OEM bulb(s) is/are?
