Acura TL 2013 Bulb Size
Bulb size chart
The 2013 Acura TL uses a mix of LED and replaceable bulb types, and the exact setup can vary by trim, lighting package, market, and body style. This page is designed to help you verify bulb sizes by lighting position so you can match the correct bulb to the right socket before you buy.
Use the bulb chart below as a practical reference for the 2013 Acura TL’s headlights, fog lights, turn signals, reverse lights, license plate lights, and other exterior and interior lighting points. Checking by position is the easiest way to avoid ordering the wrong bulb when replacing a burned-out light.
For fitment, always compare your TL’s installed bulb and housing style with the chart, especially if your car has different trim or package equipment. Some lighting positions may use factory LED assemblies, while others use halogen or HID-style bulbs, and aftermarket LED conversions can change the required fitment or trigger warning issues. If you are unsure, remove the old bulb and match the base type, connector, and shape before purchasing. This is especially important for the 2013 Acura TL because lighting equipment can differ between markets and option packages.
