Bulb size chart
This 2008 Acura TL bulb size guide helps you verify the correct bulb by lighting position, so you can match the right part before you buy. Because trim and lighting equipment can vary, especially by market and body style, it is always smart to confirm the exact bulb location on your vehicle before replacing anything.
Use this page to find common exterior and interior bulb sizes for the 2008 Acura TL, including headlights, daytime running lights, reverse lights, license plate lights, and cabin bulbs. The layout makes it easier to compare each position one by one and avoid mixing up similar-looking bulbs with different fitment.
For the best fit, compare your TL’s trim and package with the bulb chart on this page, since base and Type-S models may use different front signal, parking, and side marker bulbs. If you are switching from halogen to LED, remember that brightness, beam pattern, and bulb shape can change, and some aftermarket conversions may need additional parts or may not perform the same as the original bulb. Before ordering, check the installed bulb itself whenever possible, since previous owners may have replaced it with a non-original type or a different aftermarket option.
