so which ones should I buy to have my interior nice and bright? the 921 bulb or the 168-194 blub ?

 

Its so hard to tell what these look like at night. Are they really blue like this? I'd love some blue ones. I had some painters tape on my truck interior lights after replacing the back window and it blue-d up the whole cab. I been driving around with my ghetto lights ever since. I'm leaning towards these tec-toyz....

 

Xtin,

What did you guys used to pop the plastic cover of the lights before replacing them? I pin would work? I am scared to damage the plastic cover..

Please let me know a safe way to do this.


Thanks in advance

 

By any chances does any one know how to remove the vanity light cover...is it the same as the doors and the center consoles? Has any one change this yet...if yes some pix please!

 

So is the consensus (sp) that the License Plate LED's are blah? I think most of us would like the IS350 look right?

 

You need to slip a butter knife between the plastic and the metal flange beneath and pry it off. Be careful- it's easy to get the knife under the metal flange- you need to make sure you're between the two. Once you have it in there I think it helps if you push the knife in towards the light as you'll be bending the tab holding it up.

Just take it gently and you'll get it without busting anything. Unfortunately it was my experience that once you've done this it doesn't make it any easier to do it again. It's not really like the doors or other lights.

 

I really like the license plate LEDs...cool white color on the plate

 

Butterknife or small flathead works

 

This is my next mod in Hyper White....

Your pics inspired me....

 

I just ordered a full set of brians interior lights. They costed me 71$ in all and that wasnt to bad. I have lights for every single thing in the car. I will post pictures when its done.

 

What all does your "everything" include?

 

I think I got mine for a lot cheaper. I think he raised his prices recently.
I paid 50 total for about 13 bulbs

 

I paid $71 for 11 bulbs several weeks ago. I got bulbs for everything except the vanity lights...

 

I paid $61 for 13 bulbs a day ago.

 

Might want to list which bulbs. Different bulbs, different prices, different strokes, different folks, different....damn, you get the picture.

 

I have NBP with EBONY interior so I got white LED's.

It consists of:

2 vanity mirror lights
2 side door lights
2 map lights
2 rear dome lights
1 trunk light
2 reverse lights
1 console/glovebox light

I have no idea how 2 install these so this should be fun!!!!

 

Even though this should be the easiest mod you will do here ya go

I got these bulbs

2 White 9LED Door Lights = $10.00
2 White 9LED Map Lights = $10.00
2 White 9LED Rear Overhead Lights = $10.00
2 White 9LED Vanity Mirror Lights = $10.00
2 White Single LED Lights (Glovebox and Center Console) = $3.00
1 White 9LED Trunk Light = $5.00
2 White 9LED License Plate Lights = $10.00
Shipping = $3.00
Total = $61.00

This should help you.........

 

Just put mine in a few minutes ago. Wouldn't say these are great for finding items on the floor, but for general lighting they look very nice. I'm VERY happy with how they make the interior look and will be sending Brian some positive feedback. I bought the Hyper Whites and these are blue Enough for me. The license plate LED is ...OK...not quite the IS350 look I was hoping for, but oh well. By the way this is all on a 2G CL.

 

Hi could someone please let me know how I could replac the license plate lights. I took the light container out but I can't take it out fully because its stuck inside the white see through part of the license plate holder of the car? How could I get it out to plug the lights IN?

please help

 

^^I'm assuming you're having trouble on your 3G TL, if so I have no clue on how to do this. Let us know. Post pics if you can for a better idea.

 

What I had to do (and it was a real pita) was put the outer lens in from the outside and the bulb holder in from the inside. You really have to practice, have one bulb put together in the trunk so you can see how it fits together. so the lens put in from the outside and the bulb holder from the inside. worked for me, but it wasn't easy.

 

I made some correction of your picture based on white TL behind.

 

hey i was wondering...are those lights in the picture blue or hyper white?...and 9 or 6 led?..thanks

 

i think they are hyper whites.. but the camera+lens were probably d-slr and it has different lighting effect so it looks too blue-ish.. bet it doesn't look that blue in real life

 

I tried to install.... I installed the front map lights then the side door lights (everything went well) The rear lights were very hard for me to take out (big fingers) So i un boltted from the roof and took the housing out. took the old lights out. I installed the housing, and i put the new leds in... THEY DONT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! none of them do now?!?!?!? and on top of that my key (fob) woudnt work (had to open/close doors manule) WTF is going on? Went to Acura they said to make appointment to get it checked. Plz any help will be greatly appreciated

 

i think you blew the fuse

 

I was thinking something like that. F**K Im SOooooo pissed!! well w/e they looked cool when they worked. What about my Key (fob) did it just loose power? cuz the battery was fine before i installed the rear lights

 

did you check your fuse. that sounds like the problem if they were working then they stopped when you finnished the job. and the key fob is prob with that too. check your fuse and replace that before you get pissed. should be nothing to worry about.

 

How do i replace my fuse?.... Is this something that Acura needs to do? or can i pick the part/parts at autozone?

 

no not at all. really simple. look in your manual there should be something that tells you how. you should probebly have a few extra fuses in the fuse boxes. i dont have a 3rd gen so i dont know exactly where they are. but in mine if you open up the drivers or passangers door on the side of the dash board there should be a panel that you can remove and you should see the fuse box. and it should have a schematic of what each fuse is. im sure you can figure it out from there. i dont know what side of the car it is on. there should also be a fuse box under the hood. but i doubt you will ever need to touch that.

 

Thanks ALOT! I too have a 3Gen soo ill be going to do that. Ill post my results. again thanks.

 

well actually if you look at my post it says i do not have a 3rd gen (me 2nd Gen) but still same diff good luck.

 

O my bad.. Umm i just looked at the fuse box... and found the one that i need to replace. but i guess i need to buy another one to make it work?

 

Yeah, you will have to buy a new one. My suggestion for troubleshooting is to take a non essential fuse from another position (MAKE SURE IT'S THE SAME AMPERAGE) plug it into the position already blown and check your lights. Either way, purchase some new fuses.

 

Will do, thanks everybody!

 

no problem. glad to help

 

I bought 9LED white and they are MUCH DIMMER than my old lights MUCH MUCH, and i think they look a little purplish, I DONT THINK HE SENT ME THE RIGHT STUFF and I don't know what to do. My lights r VERY VERY dim like you cant notice it AT ALL. If anyone knows.... i took my car 2 a professinoal 2 do it and I don't know what else I could have done because I don't know how 2 do it.

 

where did you buy them?
