Just picked up a 16 ILX

White on Ebony leather. coming from a dodge durango beater my goodness am i saving gas. This tiny car is fun to drive. Jeweled lights are so nice and i really like the DRL.

Does anyone know what bulb to use for upgrading the license plate light to a brighter white light?

I will also be getting tint next, should I tell the guys there to be careful around the corner speaker area?

I think you will be fine with the speaker area. Especially if they're taking off the door panels. I just picked mine up two days ago. I got the black on black 2016 ILX premium with ASPEC. I felt no need for the PLUS features. Car is great and has pretty fast acceleration. I want to maybe black out the grill. Curious if they have anything out for the 2016 ILX grills yet in black.

Why do you think you need to tell them to be careful? I'd be careful about telling people how to do their jobs. lol

Oh I just seen a few threads about tint and the vinyl getting torn, so that alerted me that's all.

and for the license plate light, it's a dull yellow light. I wanted it to be a whiter light

For white license plate lights you want...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-White-168-194-2825-HID-5-SMD-LED-Bulbs-For-License-Plate-Lights-/111127939381?hash=item19dfbdc935&vxp=mtr
Just buy 1 set. That ad sells the LEDs in pairs so purchase 1 for $5.03 and they will send 2 LEDs in white; one for each side of the license plate.

Check out the side by side comparison against our stock bulbs.

Also you can find more mods like this and other ideas in my ILX progress thread in my signature.

Yup that's me. Make sure you evaluate it after install. Take pics before install of your tint. Those guys denied the damage for me.
