I just spoke with a rep and they open a case with Honda/Acura regarding mines. It’s been replaced twice. First time mines went out was 3days after getting my Type S. I told them it might be minor to them but I paid over $50k for this car I want it to work.
@@user-xw1gq5yuwuuwb I would personally wait until there’s a permanent fix, the more times they go in there the better chance of something getting damaged. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I also had my passenger puddle light go out about 2 weeks after I got the car. Acura replaced the bulb and the mirror cuz they broke it while replacing the bulb. Acura tech pretty much told me not to bother changing them until the permanent fix comes out.
Is there an updated fix for the puddle lights that go out.? Just realized trough this video that I'm not the only 1. My driver side been out since I got the car & it has always bothered me. I would like to try n get that fixed. Lmk if there's the updated fix. Thank you.
Well this isn’t technically an update but it is a different colored bulb and the housing is also different color which means they have done changes to it. I will be posted weekly/monthly updates on them.
I have a 2023 Acura MDX advanced. Are there puddle lights in the mirrors? Mine is brand new and they don’t work if there are lights in the side mirrors. Thanks.
I have another relative that has a brand new 2023 MDX advance and he doesn’t have them either if they are in the mirrors. I’m not sure how to find out because no one seems to know.
Lol amazing. I have since upgraded to 23 honda pilot puddle lights which are daylight white. Have been fine for nearly a months now. I have a full video on those 👍🏻
My Type-S brotha from anotha mutha. So, going on 3 weeks since I had my puddle lights replaced. Looks like the bulbs are holding up. So, put in an order for Acura to order the puddle lights since it takes awhile for them to receive the parts due to the current shipping situation. Also ask if they’ll order the other parts like the side view mirror covers due to how fragile and they might crack when removing the parts when trying to replacing the bulbs. Warranty will cover everything since you just bought the car.
Yessir, that’s good news. Speaking from personal experience both the caps and mirror glasses are a 90% chance of cracking so that is Deff a good idea to have in hand. Thanks for the update. Wonder if there’s an updated part number 🤔
Just got both of my puddle lights replaced today under warranty. Fingers crossed they last. If not I’ll just take back to get fixed. Question? So, we both have the 2021 Type S version. I see UA-cam videos saying 2022 TLX type s version. Is there a 2022 version of our car??
I did the same thing with my gt500, was nice, but sometimes it was just to bright. I think the trunk had the best outcome. Vanity and overhead sucked for me.
YeaH, getting both of my puddle light bulbs replaced. Smh, I say they should have kept the puddle lights out of the design of the car. The rear view mirrors are fragile. So they ordered the puddle light bulbs and the rear view mirror just in case they break the mirror.
Yep, mirrors will 💯 crack and your right doesn’t really need the puddle lights which have been problematic for years but since they are there I want them fixed, only once there is an updated part tho
@@BCautosolutions you’re right, why get it fixed when it’s going to crap out a short time later. Gonna call Acura and postpone the fix and wait for Acura to find a better fix.
I’m working on ad much content as possible. When your car gets here you’ll have tons of diy videos ready to go. Prl should be working on a downpipe as we speak 👍🏻
@@BCautosolutions that's just one of many problems mine has haha. I do def hate the car. My backup camera has been replaced already and it still does not work properly at night (a black screen), I have the radio crackling, the other day it was changing the volume by itself, and the list goes on haha
@@mikeydude319 that sucks man. The most annoying issue you have is the crackling. That seems to be a never ending issue with acura/honda. Hope it all works out.
@@BCautosolutions thank you I appreciate it. I’ve been trying to get them to buy it back and replace it for a year now. The backup camera is more annoying than the intermittent crackling I would say. It’s flat out not safe. My windows are tinted as well. I have the 360° camera and the other 3 camera work fine. It’s just the main rear one that doesn’t like to come on.
My 2018 tlx advanced drivers side puddle light doesn’t work either. Does anyone know how much it is to get replaced? Any advice where it is best to take it to be replaced ?
They are well aware of it. I wouldn’t replace it until there is a permanent fix as it hasn’t been the case. The more time the techs go in there the chances are something breaks
Yeah it’s a nightmare with those things. Yes I think at some point there will be a tsb most likely with a warranty extension but no recall since it’s technically not a safety issue

Been looking for info on how to change the glovebox light. Thank you so much!
No problem, glad it helped 👍🏻
Just replaced all my interior bulbs. Thanks for the tutorial.
Sweet! Thanks for watching
Dude thanks for the videos….just swapped out my LED’s today….glove box bulb was useless prior to the LED swap!!! 👍🏻
It really is and such a cheap upgrade that should of came that way from factory. Thanks for watching
@Hondamobilemechanic - you said the truck bulb was 194. But the link is for a 168W. Is it the same?
Yes, it’s essentially the same thing 👍🏻
I also had my passenger puddle light go out about 2 weeks after I got the car. Acura replaced the bulb and the mirror cuz they broke it while replacing the bulb. Acura tech pretty much told me not to bother changing them until the permanent fix comes out.

Just got both of my puddle lights replaced today under warranty. Fingers crossed they last. If not I’ll just take back to get fixed. Question? So, we both have the 2021 Type S version. I see UA-cam videos saying 2022 TLX type s version. Is there a 2022 version of our car??
Yes there’s a 2022 model already. 2021 was a very limited production number due to low chip availability.
@@BCautosolutions so, any changes with the 2022 vs 2021 type-S?
@@BCautosolutions WoW, they say only 2000, 2021 Type S’s were made. Wonder how many 2021 versions actually made it to the public?
@@saprano1972 Im not sure but I know of a ton of them
@@saprano1972 none, besides a $500 price increase
Nice, keep the vids up man. All cars have issues on launch thats fine. Lets hope its just small shit like this
Thanks for watching, I have 4-5 videos lined up so stay tuned. If this is the biggest problem the tlx has, I will be more then happy.
Can you do a video how to change the one in the rear seat please
Do you mean in the trunk?
Yessss! I HATE the yellow puddle light. Rent cheapens the look of the car. Same thing in the trunk
Agreed
Have they came out with a better puddle light yet for the MDX
Supposedly yes. Only time will tell..
I have the same issue with my 2018 TLX is there a permanent fix for my car too?
No, not yet
I did the same thing with my gt500, was nice, but sometimes it was just to bright. I think the trunk had the best outcome. Vanity and overhead sucked for me.
Yeah I can see vanity being too bright, I just hate the yellow tint to the lights
Are these puddle lights the same as the $204 welcome lights that's on Acura's configurator?
No, those are an accessory and go underneath the side skirts
@@BCautosolutions Thank you for clarifying it.
@@jsz2619 no problem
Anything on changing the license plate bulb? 2021 TLX
@@nickfrancis2311 bulb is daylight white. Not going to be getting any cleaner then what already is
@@BCautosolutions I know but it burnt out lol. Does the lamp cover pry out? I’m assuming it is because I don’t see any other access points

Do you know which selection of wheels out on the market fit the TLX???
Usually type r fitment and there’s plenty of options. I’m going with 19x9.5 +36 bolt pattern 5x120
@@BCautosolutions does that affect all wheel drive if you do 19s on the front and 20s on the back

@@BCautosolutions nice. By going 9.5 is it flush or do you get a small overhang
@@kongxiong6005 pretty flush. It sticks out a tad now but it’s stock height, once it lowered will naturally camber in and be flush

Most likely
