My first mod to the TLX (I'm not counting trunk tray as a proper mod). Starting easy.
So I've seen the cool laser shadow lights with images and they look pretty sweet. However, I'm concerned that images would limit the utility of the light, namely, seeing what you're stepping into. Anyhow, I bought these instead:

Man, are they bright! Here are some before and after for comparison. Keep in mind, it's wet out and even so, they are bright:
Passenger side with stock bulb
Driver with new XB LED
Trunk with an old LED that I had still laying around, which was still a bit brighter than stock bulb.
Trunk with new XB LED!
The light color is slightly whiter than the mirror LED, but not cool white, more like natural white which is what I wanted in the first place.
They fit, although a bit snugly on the doors, you'd have to push them in a bit to get seated well into the socket, but no big deal. No problem in the trunk housing.
I've bought stuff from The Retrofit Source before and they've always been great (did a quad-HID setup on my 05 tl and a few other smaller projects with all parts from them). I ordered these late Thursday night and they arrived Monday!
Anyway, thought I'd share. Love how bright these buggahs are! Now I wish I could brighten up the mirror ones a touch.
Yeah, they fit, a little snug as they are a touch wider than the stock bulb and touch the two metal "holders" on the sides, but with a little push they go in. When they go all the way in they also clear the tab on the grey cover.
The ones you posted don't seem to be a 194 size. I see T10, but from the picture they don't seem to be anything like a 194. Not sure why they've put T10 in the title.

+1 I got those for my car and my wife's car and they are very bright. I also like the color.
