I believe that these are all soldered LEDs.

If you absolutely need a DIY manual for this type of work I would not recommend doing it. In my opinion, work like this poses a significantly high risk of damaging internal components when desoldering the LED's and replacing them. Check out the TL service manual thread which may help you get to the LEDs you want to swap. I've seen this done on other Acuras and it looks awesome. Good luck if you do tackle it and take plenty of pictures!!

What they said. Sounds like an invloved, and very expensive endeavour.

You'd be better off to simply line the interior with red plastic film. Then all the lights would seem red. While you're at it, you can change your name to "Dexter".
