Narrative:
First officer was pilot flying and briefed for visual approach backed up by the ILS approach to runway 25L at lax. Briefing included expected runway exit plan to taxi to gate from a landing on 25L. On approximately 20 mile final; our clearance got changed to runway 24R. After landing; the captain assumed control to taxi to the gate. We were cleared to cross 24L; and we were cleared by ground to taxi via east and right and to hold short of C and contact south ground. I had not taxied via this routing from the north side since lax had re-configured the taxiways; and was expecting the old 'south route.' the captain and I both referenced our airport diagram; but nevertheless we turned right on taxiway E-13 which is just west of right. We saw the taxiway right lighted signs ahead of us; and I thought that we were turning at the correct spot until we finished the turn and realized we were on E-13. Darkness and unfamiliarity with that routing led to the error. We stopped; and ground control coordinated with lax airport operations who cleared us to make a 180 turn on E-13; so that we could exit that area and resume our taxi to the gate.
