'07 or '04 taillights?

so im planning on buying the tl type s tail lights for my 04 tl, cutting it open removing the diffusers and wrapping the reflector in cf. but before i buy, i was wondering if i should buy the 04 or 07 tls taillights? is their a difference? i searched the forums but i cant seem to find a thread showing the difference.

04 tails are solid red

Actually, I'd just put Type-S lights as from the factory and call it a day. They look nice as is, dress up the back of a pre-07 TL, and there's no extra work.

Maybe custom tails from AckTL05? Unless you're experienced in doing your own tails then more power to you.

Don't forget to upgrade your TL badges too!

I have an 05 and I installed slightly modified 07-08 tails. It all depends on the look you're trying to go for. I didn't install TL-S tails because everybody has em.

I wanted something different and subtle which is why I had my 07-08 tails modded a bit.

The 07-08 look way nicer than the 04-06 solid red. Are the 04-06 LED like the type-s?
