16 ILX bulb replacements
Hi everyone,
I'm sure some of you have experience with swapping out some of the stock bulbs on the 16 ILX.
I'm planning on swapping on the following bulbs:
1.) Interior - front
2.) Interior - rear
3.) Glove Compartment
4.) Fog lights
5.) License Plate bulbs
6.) Light inside the trunk
I'm thinking of going for an LED with a whiter color for # 1, 2, 3, 5, 6
I'm thinking of going for a more amber or yellow color for the fog lights
1.) Do you have have any info on where I can get the bulbs?
2.) What are the part numbers you guys used?
3.) What brands do you recommend?

1.) Interior - front - Good luck with this, they are soldered onto the PCB that controls the garage opener and other buttons.
2.) Interior - rear - Easy replacement (My girlfriend actually purchased an LED kit for interior replacement off of Amazon. Not sure which she bought, but they were supposed to work for front as well, but obviously didn't. I did replace the rear one and that was no issue at all)
The rest the other guys know and you might be able to search for it in the forums, because some of these have been answered already.

just read the last part...
I got my bulbs on amazon.
https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...s=194+168+2825
these are the license plate and I believe rear interior bulbs. They fit my land rover too, although I ran out because that thing has about a thousand bulbs in it. They're probably the trunk and glovebox, although I can't swear to it.

H11 bulbs for the fog lights - I didn't see enough difference between halogen and LED to justify the price difference, so I just got halogens.

2. The rear interior dome light is T10 (194). To keep the same color temp as front, I use Philips Xtreme Vision 360 LED T10 4000K.
3. Already LED.
4. Several options
- Get a pair of H11 led bulbs and replace the stock halogen ones (H16 Philips 2700K LED bulb | Philips 12793UNIX2 |Yellow LED Fog bulb)
- Get a direct fit fog lights with the yellow film from the retrofit source (https://www.theretrofitsource.com/co...hts-acura.html)
- Simply get a lower temperature halogen bulb instead of expensive leds
6. T10 or 194. Same as #5
Other bulbs to consider...
1. Rear turn signal - 7440 (for brighter/sharper signal)
2. Back up lights - T16 or 921
3. Foot light - T5 or 74 (I use blue leds)

oh by the way, word to the wise, halogen bulbs have no polarity, but LEDs do, so if you plug your LEDs in and they don't light up, just turn then 180deg and they'll work. I found that out the hard way.
