Introduction
This guide will show you how to easily replace the brake light of your 2010 Acura TSX. The Acura TSX 2010 is a part of the second and final generation of the TSX that covered 2009-2014.
The brake lights on your vehicle is one of the ways other cars on the road are made aware that your car is breaking on the road. They need to be replaced when the light does not turn on while pressing on the brakes. Brake light bulbs should be replaced around every 40,000 miles for general maintenance. Replacing your brake light bulbs are very important to prevent possible accidents and to avoid getting pulled over by the police.
Before beginning this repair, be sure that your car is off, in park, with the parking break on. In addition, don't handle the new brake light bulb with your bare hands as the oils and salts from your fingers will damage the bulb and reduce the life span of the bulb or possibly shatter.
