Hey ya'll. Im just wondering if any of the guys here knows what size of the interior bulbs and reverse light does TLX required? I am getting my TLX next week (finally) and i want to change the interior bulbs soon as i will be ordering it on ebay.
Pls. Let me know if any of the guys here knows anything about it.
I just got my TLX and want to change the interior LED lights to a different color. Did you ever find the sizes required? and how hard was it to change them?

i tried playing around with interior lights.
long story short, from a DIY standpoint......dont bother changing them as either they are already LED and they look like they are in a proprietary setup that is not as straightforward as we would hoped it to be.
the only lights you can change are:
- trunk lights
- door courtesy lights
reverse lights are of a much bigger bulb size. not exactly sure what the size is, but here's a pic compared to the T10 68SMD LED light i used for my trunk (which is pretty much the biggest T10 LED bulb available out there). im not going to bother changing the reverse lights because i am sure it will not be as cheap as the T10 LED lights and not sure if it will make much difference (not cost effective)
license plate lights are already LEDs and i have trouble taking the housing off the trunk. not touching those either
I tried some LEDs for reverse lights in my Civic and I was never able to find a bulb strong enough to be of any use. I think I'll be keeping the stock bulbs in the TLX.
The ghost shadows on the doors took me about 2 minutes per side. It's a direct plug and play. Super easy.
The Reverse lights are also easy. You will have to use a flat head to pull a few tabs for the panel that covers the rear of your tail lights in the trunk. Once that is off, remove the old and in with the new. I think that took about 10-15 minutes my first time. A lot easier comparing to my 2007 TL-S.
I've been a fan of using the 50watt crees for many years. I had it on my 07 TL-S for over 4 years with absolutely no problems. I also have them on my girlfriend's Hyundai and my brothers Lexus. Never a single problem!
Hey! Quick question, are all LED bulbs plug and play for the TLX? I ask because I want to avoid hyperflash for the blinkers and want to get load resistors at the same time if I have to. Also, for the backup lights, I've tried replacing the bulbs on my old Lancer, they'd turn on for a second then turn off as the power draw was significantly less than the original halogen bulbs.
