pduncan1963 Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) Hi. Just purchased a 2023 Legacy Premium, great sedan. Has anyone come up with a suitable replacement for the trunk light bulb? Edited April 23, 2023 by pduncan1963 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverton Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 according to the sylvania bulb replacement guide it's just a bog standard 194. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxygene Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I just replaced it with an LED 194 bulb I got on amazon and its so much brighter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinLo822 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 LED bulbs are must have. I use one. It saves money and give a brighter light. Philips X-tremeUltinon LED Trunk Light is a good choice, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnsLegacyXT Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I changed all my bulbs to leds but even then that’s not nearly enough light for a trunk at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roughriduz Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 I've been using the below light bar. Super bright and no issues seeing anything. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009K6IW00/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngc604 Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076YK84NY been using this since April of last year. No issues and everyone remarks at how bright my trunk is. I’ve put these in four family member’s cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painless Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 My installation using roughriduz suggestion. I used the center structure as it was straight and close proximity to the socket (the LED strip is rigid). Cleaned the beam first before using the adhesive strip. Threaded the connector through the cage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I like the idea of a light bar, but something like that would almost certainly get wrecked in my trunk (assuming Murphy is in full effect when I put thing into/take them out of the trunk) - I ended up going with one of the vleds 14 LED 194 bulbs - very bright (rated at 90 lumens - I also used them for the lights on the underside of the door cards). Would have loved to use one of the 26 LED ones, but I didn't think it would fit under the little grating for the fixture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
