Bulbs

I tried some LED festoon in the rear roof, don't bother they
are dim and blue tinted.

There is a JDM label brand at Pep Boys that come in
white 211-2 for the roof that look nice.

The white 194
bulb is beautiful in the doors. I want to get these
in the liscense plate next.

It is pure white, no tint.

They have red that makes the rear side markers and
rear running lights really RED.

These are called platinum and look metal colored
when not lit.

They don't have an amber 194 for the front side
markers.

I put in the Nokya H1 high beams, yes they are white
and match the low beam color.

I checked the trunk light and it is marked 15W, I have
not seen any 15W 194/168 style bulbs anywhere.

I took 2 168/194 6LED modules, soldered them together and then soldered them to the edge of the contacts within the trunk light plate. 3 things I noticed.

1. Soldering seems extreme, but it comes off very easily.

2. 15W of light doesn't mean you can't use LEDs, just means you need those types of bulbs, so I'm not having issues.

3. With 12 LEDs lighting my TSX trunk, I'm loving it.

Glad you found and alternative to LEDs. I have them everywhere and though they are dim in comparison to the bulbs, I love the "softer" effect anyway.


GOOD FIND though!!!!

Smile Question 4 TSXTim

What bulb/brand did you use for the white 194's?

What about the rear side markers and rear running lights, did you upgrade those?

ANXIOUS!
Thanks!

hello, I think the brand is Nekoi. I have not found any
reference to them on the web. I assume it is a Pep Boys
only brand. The packaging was JDM style.

I really like these metal colored bulbs, the doors,
liscense plate, and rear roof are pure white.

I also found there is a "titan" APC brand bulbs, these
may be them because APC supplies all the other tuner
equipment at Pep Boys.

Check this link for APC part numbers:

This looks like a good source for the Titan bulbs, type in
194 titan or 7443 titan and search.

They don't have a red 7440 and I don't know what
M-3 7440 is, so I haven't finished the rear lights yet.
M-3 might be a different base, I don't know if they work.

They do have red 7443's and all color 194's.

I did get two red colored 7443 at AutoZone that
look good in the rear lights but for that perfect pure
white in the doors, liscence plate, the rear roof, I recommend
the PepBoys brand or maybe you can try these titans.

Good Luck, I will probably try these titans soon and may
call them to see what an M3 is and if I can use them because
I need 3 red 7440's.
