Incandescent filament bulbs (like the one that just blew for you) are an 1879 invention by Mr Thomas Edison, as such filament bulbs have no place in today's automobile, epecially "ADVANCE" ones like our TL's. Replace with LED's wherever possible, they will outlive the car upon which they are installed - and they look a thousand time better.

Owned 3 TLs (2nd, 3r and now 4th Gen). No issue with lights at all except the recently acquired 2012 TL having some issue with interior lights after trying to replace the Trunk Light with LED. Now, no Trunk Light and no lights on some middle interior lights.
