All of that for a bulb.. Crazy.. I'm telling you Acura makes things so complicated when changing bulbs in this car. Great vid and keep up with the tutorials. I'm enjoying them.
David Ruiz me too man, back in 2010 when they told me it would cost over $200 to change it I almost thought they were pulling my leg but it's true so i said forget it.
He's doing this the hard way. You don't have to rip apart the entire center console. Granted, you do have to remove a few plastic components, but they mostly snap off without needing to unplug any of the electronics. Why he doesn't simply unscrew the gear selector knob and lift out the surrounding plastic parts is beyond me.
Did it today. Instructions are on point and its actually pretty easy. When it came to the bulb I pulled the wire from under and it popped right out of the slot and i changed the buld very easy. Good video...
Thank you so much for posting this video, it has been driving me crazy since it failed in a few years after purchase my 2006 TL. Here in Montreal labour is $135/hr with taxes so they want something like $200 to change this little bulb. you made my day. Kevin
fabolousg4ever I have to say that it is the most stupid design for that light bulb. The smart thing to do would have been to design it to allow an easy change.
fabolousg4ever I just noticed that you have an LED bulb. I called my dealer and they only have the original for my 2006, a regular T5 bulb for about $5. I asked about LED, they don't know about that for the 2006 TL. My car was made in the USA, has US VIN but was purchased by Honda Canada (not sure if there are any differences to be honest other than navi language selection) to be sold in Canada. This is their regular practice so recalls and stuff fall under Honda Canada and not USA. I think I would like to put in the LED, I can see the one you have, there are many out there but I would get the simple LED T5. Any advice on what you bought since I know yours works hehe??? I am in the USA a lot so I can buy on Amazon or parts store. Any info would be appreciated. Oh I had to tell you I just had my steering pressure hose changed, it rusted and had a lovely hole. Yes it is the same one Honda changed in 2008 Sept under the recall. I am so pissed off, it is the only thing to ever break and it is the piece replaced under recall and I didn't do it myself because very hard access and was afraid things were seized. It cost me $500 with 10% discount, labour here is crazy. My TL is low mileage only 55K miles.
Hey man, I just used this guide to replace my Base model with Type S carbon fiber. Your walkthrough was super helpful and straightforward. Two thumbs up!
My light is out on the shifter, I was wondering if that caused my background light t go dim. The light on my radio doesn't work and the panel light isn't as bright as they used to be. Do you think that this work like the Christmas light that if 1 bulb is out it affects the rest that connects from it? What should I do?
+Joseph Triunfante yes it does once on ebulbs goes oout its like a chain effect on this car watch my tutorials on led dashboard shows you how to change the bulbs to leds.
Ehy how you doing...! Thank you so much for the time you take the video...! I have a cuestion the bulb light are the same zise of temperature climate control ? I have acura tl 2008 and im going to change all the bulbs to other color
So. If I sent you my 06 TL. I’d have quite a long list for things to be done. I can pay you upfront. And have the parts ready. All I need is your direction. Thank you for your videos!
Nice! Bro I have a question My lighter inside the center console storage doesn't work, it has never worked I wonder that it is disconnected from the power, but I'm not sure But I don't know how to disassemble everything there to check it out
Without taking everything apart, plug something in that has a built in light, if the light doesnt come on, you arent getting voltage to that outlet. From there, check the fuse for the 12v outlet. Its likely a fuse
quick question bro. I had one attempted to change the led on the dash so I started to take everything off but then couldn't get to the very back last bolt so I had to stop. in the process I some how disconnect or idk what but all the lights in the gear shift don't work anymore. any idea what it might be? was told it was a battery or shortage and that I would have to rewire the whole thing.
Yo . Thx for videos . I use them all the time . Just did this bulb change cause my wasn’t working . New bulb still not working . Bulb is good . Any ideas ??
Big help with the videos. So how many t3 leds are needed would you guess? Are the red and blue arrows for heat/air covered with a filter, as in if I use a yellow bulb the red would turn orange(not using yellow just curious) Also is the shifter light the only t5?
Hey bro, so I opened my arm rest where the cubby hole is and I don't see those 2 screws??? It's all flat black plastic inside.. Do I have to remove covers of any sort on the inside for it?? I have an 05 so I"m not sure if it makes a difference. Let me know bro.
thanks for the info...noticed my gear shift bulb was out also.. i guess when i get a couple hours and some free time..i will get the courage to do this..
Is there a huge difference in lighting for the shifter? I know there is a huge difference for the climate control buttons and cluster, but I was wondering if it would be the same for the shifter.
Thank you. I just installed it and it works, but I was wondering if there is supposed to be a hint of blue. I used the correct bulb and I just feel like its not 100% white. It looks light a very light blue. Is that normal. Same goes for the climate control button "Auto"
I might have to replace my shifter assembly, and this is the closest video to what I need. Lol, alll I gotta do is get the bolts and connectors on the entire thing and itll pop out.
I have a brother who has a acura but Evertime we listen to music it makes like a noise in the background and idk what's the problem. Do you have any solution??....and also it even starts the noise when we start putting on the radio
My brother I tried this again because the light on the shifter was going off and on constantly. Now all the interior lights on the steering wheel memory seats and around the navigation are out also. I checked the fuses they look good any thing else it could be?
I did everything . I took my radio navi, cupholder, everything out. And I removed the shifter al without breaking anything. But, I can remove that little bulb. How tf do you remove the bulb
Awww man my guy! It hurts sieng your acura be handled like that lol. these babys are rare now keep it in good condition someone down the road is gonna pay alot of money for a prestine 3g tl. there not gonna want to buy one that has snapped bezels and scratched up center consoles. Still tho much Respect for your channel, Keep it up homie.
Jesus, you would think these people that design the cars would either make it more simple to get to thes bulbs that can an will go out, or put bulbs that would outlast the car! But nooooooo! That makes tooo much sense! 😂
MODS FOREVER lol I live In California we are far apart from each other was hoping you’d said California because I’m having a problem with my tl not shifting out of park. I already replaced the brake light switch with an oem one and wasn’t it. I’m thinking it could be the solenoid in the gear shifter box. I know there are some people who have the same problem and I have been trying to find someone who has had this problem and fixed it but no luck. Think you’d be able to troubleshoot my problem?
MODS FOREVER alright I had a mechanic check them with a voltimeter but will replace them either way and I’ll see what happens hopefully this is the problem. What else would it be if it isn’t this?
I put the bulb in and twisted it, it turned on looked beautiful n Idk what I did but it turned off n won't turn back on no matter how many times I turn the bulb. Frustrating asf

Hi and good day I switch all my led light bulbs but know there are not working
Thank you, Mods Forever, for these Acura TL repair videos. I find myself consulting these regularly, since I picked up a TL S this year. Props! 👍

I'm having the same problem with my 2016 TLX. The gear shift light just randomly went out.
good video! you seem so calm and patient. Thanks
Can you send a link to the LEDs or what leds work? I haven’t used worked with lights rly

remove the rubber inside there it should just pull up and the screws is under the rubber mat.

Is that led white or blue ?
how many t3 bulbs do you need to do the climate control lights
12 total. 4 on each side, then 4 below the Navi screen to light the MENU, SETUP, AUDIO buttons
Mine comes back on once and a while, is it a bad fuse? Or is my bulb faulty?
Bad bulb

Did you use a regular T5 LED bulb or a Neo Wedge T5 LED for this? And same question on the T3 for steering wheel & dash bulbs also? Thanks.
Alan Rich t3 neo wedge interior gear shifter light youcan use a t5 neo wedge bulb and t5 bulb will work
fabolousg4ever thanks for the quick response.

check the last 3 fuses on the driver side kick panel 3 last back fuses 2nd row of fuse and replace the last 3 fuses should fix your issue.
