The OP might try a small piece of scotch tape where it snaps in, that shold tighten things up-nothing to lose. Shorter bulb that I purchased works if the long AGT is causing the wobble.
Haha yeah, wasn't talking about getting a shorter bulb!
Thanks for the advice, i'll try that should it start producing noise while i drive... so bringing back to the dealer is a no go?

If it is obvious that you FUBARed it, no go to the dealer. If you have LEDs in there it is an obvious mod that they'll not cover (I don't imagine) and if it is not a manufacturers defect it really is not on them anyway.

So quick simple question that I'm sure has been answered everywere... been reading this forum on my phone all morning tho and its not easy on this tiny screen..

I have a 2013 coupe ex.. traded my 2012 for it cause I loved it..

Anyways.. the drl strip area along the bottom of the headlight.. I wanna change the bulb to led.. can anyone suggest a bulb? Is it a simple replacement or do I have to change wiring at all? Don't wanna get crazy and add a led strip or anything.. just wanna get some brighter blue light in there without moddong anything yet..

Soo on my phone and reading this whole thread would take an hour if not more.. car looks great kings...

I have a 2013 ex coupe

Anyone know the bulb type/model for the aux light in the headlights (marker light) and the fogs?? Picked up the car this week and those have got to go....

Love this car so much traded my 2012 coupe for it.. we payed off our 2009 exl sedan and were about to trade it in for a 2013 sedan.. just not sire of trim yet.. since honda threw that sport in the mix..

Ordered mine today. I just bought my car last Friday and this will be my first modding. I hope everything fights correctly. Thanks for your instructions!

These are all the lights you will need for the lights that you really need LED - it is all of about 34 bucks before tax and shipping. I have personally purchased them and find them to be good quality:

for the lisc plate, trunk and map lights ( and have a few left over)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/261135547906...84.m1439.l2649

for the dome:

http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...-base-dac/213/

for the marker light below the headlights. also stronger for the map lights, if you want:

http://www.exledusa.com/exled-3528-12p-t-10-bulb.html

also, without the marker front stuff, if you want a quality kit for 30 bucks or so, I can attest to this kit as we installed it in my car, then switrched it a buddies new civic - from Paul...

Glen, I thought you posted in another thread that those AGT ones are too long for the map lights? Does it fit properly? And can you use the ebay AGT ones for the dome as well?

that's why I posted an alternative - it is not too long to work, but leaves a white hotspot (not really hot) on the lens..I changed it for the shorter, but another friend did not care...up to you...

and yes the AGT'S will FIT everywhere - you have to just decide how much light you need...one thing we've all learned here is what one person likes, another will think is totally wrong...just get the AGT's and go from there....

Driver's side is the easiest. Just slide hand as shown and you'll be able to access the plug.



For the passenger side you need to remove the coolant overflow bottle.






Finished product:



damn these look good. AGT 6K bulbs???

I might add when you get your hand down there - pop it out by turn 1/8 clockwise facing the car...and putting it back, grease the o-ring with approp grease makes it easier..(not a lot)

I have tried about 9 bulbs in this position - this is clearly the brightest and whitest:

ALL of them look good at night, very few look "on" (good) in the sun & day....
