Some of my dash lights have gone out. To be specific, it's the lights on the lower half of the dash (below the Nav screen).

All of the buttons immedietely around the Nav screen are fine and light up perfectly (Menu, Setup, Cancel, etc.). But everything below (XM, tape deck, etc.) won't light up, but function properly.

I believe all of them are individual bulbs, but I'm not sure if there's an easy way to replace them all. If anyone has any insight into getting at these, please let me know. Also, give me a heads up if there are good LEDs to replace these (quality, color, etc), or if I should just get the OEM bulbs from Acura.

If it helps, I have an 07 TL-S. Sorry, I tried searching and looking in the service manual, but both weren't useful. Thanks in advance.

 

dont think all of the individual bulbs would crap out at the same time unless there was a voltage spike or something, perhaps its just a fuse or a harness connection?

 

I'd assume the same thing. I'm thinking it's probably not a connector since they don't typically randomly come undone, but who knows. I guess I'll go check all the fuses and see if I can stumble upon the right one.

Does anyone by chance have the wiring diagrams for the TL Audio unit by chance? I assume the lights should be shown on there. Any help is appreciated.

 

I doubt its anything more complex than burnt out bulbs. This past summer, I had all the lights on the left side of my nav screen go out within a matter of days. Tip: if you're going to replace the bulbs, replace all the bulbs in that area so you don't have to do it again anytime soon.
