Enjoy it! I couldn't be happier with my 2005 TL, although it's pretty stock.

There is no "bulb size." It's a sealed unit with an LED inside. As far as getting it out, I'd suggest a review of the 3G Garage for a DIY.

You can't. Unless you pull them apart, de-solder the amber LED's, and solder in white LED's.

Looks good man. Did you install the aspec yourself? You got lucky with your aunt's wheels.

I like seeing middle age women driving the Type-S.. I wonder if they even realize, or just got tricked by the salesman to get it.
