You can find the part #s on sylvania.com and also get lights from v-leds.com.

Thanks! Got all the numbers I need from Sylvania and there is a great selection on v-leds!

Any suggestions on the reverse lights? Converting them from Incandesant to LED? Is a 12 LED light bright enough? There doesn't seem to be a Luxeon version of the 921 light.

will the only work as DRL or can they still be used as my highbeams? which one will give more distance.

p.s whatever you do, get the high power LED, not the old cheap one
what do you mean high power? which LED on the superbrightled website do you suggest? the 6-bulb? 5-bulb? 4-bulb?

here are some of the ones im looking at

WLED-x6 LED Wedge Base Bulbs



6-LED Wedge Base Bulb
These are very bright for their size, about the same size as a stock 194/168 bulb.
Available in all of our standard LED colors and Warm White
Click to see difference in Warm and Cool White LEDs

WLED-WHP LED Wedge Base Bulbs

High Power - Pure White 194/168 wedge base bulb
This bulb has 1 High Power LED which is about as bright as the 6-LED bulb seen above
At 4500K, the Color Temperature is between Warm White and Cool White

The glove box uses type 74 bulbs and the dome lights are DE3175. Also make sure the voltage are the same.

To open the cover is not that hard, all you have to do is pry open the casing with a flat screw driver. And it's self explanatory from there.

Hope that helps,

P.S. Be sure to post some picture of installation! Have fun!
where do you find 3175 bulbs? I could't find it on the superbrightled website! can you link me up to the specific bulbs you bought so i dont end up with some cheap ebay junk thank you!

You can find it directly in the v-led website or other led websites. V-led has wide variety. Here's the direct link where you can find the DE3175 led bulbs:

as soon as they come in,... hopefully today or tomorrow. ill post before and after pics! trying to help this forum out with some DIY's as much as i can. I recently put 6x9 door speakers in my RX.. wow they sound amazing, took almost 5-6 hours to custom fabricate and hook everything up with extra sound padding so the door doesn't rattle and its got more sound deadening material then before!

i will post up pics soon as I get some time, might take a while though.

the new 6x9's are awesome, i can leave the bass on level 1 and crank up the volume on my stereo up to 51-54 without distortion, before I was only able to crank it up to 45 before my speakers would distort on bass level 2. Gotta love these 5-way pioneers! they are heavy but do the job updates to come as soon as I receive my LEDS!! HURRY UP UPS!!
