Welcome and congrats! Your TLX looks great!

You parked really close to that curb and it's making me nervous

Congratulations. The TLX looks great in that color.

You did park really close to the curb.

Nice parking

Are you going to try to convert the turn signals to LED as well? Obviously it's much harder, but hopefully someone can do a DIY soon as I would really like to change mine out when I eventually get a TLX

Are these plug replacements or was there additional wiring and sockets required?

I haven't decided on LED turn signals yet. I have some switchback bulbs from my last car that I might try out. I will post pics if I do them.

Plug and play only.

I wanted the Espresso but it would have been a 4 week wait. They gave me a great deal on the Greystone which was my second choice. Hopefully it doesn't stain.

CodeRedMed - that's an awesome find. Thanks for that.

Question: You mentioned that you changed the courtesy door lights, glove box light, trunk light, and backup lights to LEDs. Same bulbs for all of those, or do they require different sizes? The owner's manual (Page 522) lists a bunch of different wattages, so I was wondering if "one size fits all". Thanks from a fellow BWP owner.

Courtesy door lights and trunk lights are the ones I posted.

Reverse backup lights are 7440 bulbs.

The glove box I think is 194 (flat style base). I had a spare bulb from my last car so not completely sure. This will also work in the center console.

Already did. Thanks. I hate dealer plates with a passion.

CodeRed, I have the 2015 BWPWITH Expresso and advance package. What's the procedure to change the bulbs as you did? Just ordinary replacements?

Car looks great, enjoy and thank you for the pics. In a few weeks when it goes back for the transmission pawl fix, I am going to add the spare tire kit.
