1st time Acura TL Technology owner. Love it! Now I wish to make a few improvements from the factory lamps. So please offer your recommendation on best products and their sizes for the following:

1. Front Turn Signal Lamp - Want white to switchback to amber for turning. What size also should I get?

2. Armrest compartment lamp - factory lamp needs to go but can not get it open. Whats the secret to opening it and what lamp size to replace with LED White version?

3. Would love a better lit license plate frame with LEDs to show the custom name plate better. Any suggestions on products?

4. I see the iJDMToy.com website for LED lamps. Is that a reputable sight to get high-end, quality products?

Thank you all for your inputs.

hi William, welcome to Azine!

i hate to be a smartass, but all those questions could be found if you use the search feature as they ALL have been answer.

Nevertheless, I have swapped the license plates and door lights with the same LED's from iJDM.

I will be buying their switchbacks and reverse lights. Still debating about the vanity.

The link below will give you all the bulb sizes you need. Please use the search engine as you also find DIY guides for most.

Thanks thePearl. You are right, I have seen some (not all) answers to my questions. One of the reasons I will ask redundant questions is because the information previously offered can occasionally become out-dated, obsolete. I utilize the search function in this form for future inquiries.

This is what I got actually. This bulb is much brighter than the one that potmilk based on my research.

it took him around one hour I think.

How's the white match with your headlights?

potmilkz

yea what he said..


but yea he loved them afterwards

yooin14

it is slightly blue. All ijdm LEDs are 6k. If you want to match closely to your stock headlight, look for 5k at vleds.

I also wanted to match it as stock headlights originally, but I liked slightly blue after I see the result. maybe I will even love more if I change stock headlights to hid 6k.

Did you need to install the resistor? Hyperflash?

Make sure you get the right bulb types. 2009-2011 and 2012-2014 have different switchback bulbs. 2012+ models use "3157 (aka 3057 3155 3357 3457 4157)" bulbs.
