2007 Regular Tail light mod
Has anyone done a upgrade to 07 TL rear tailight mod? I heard there was modifications with the led that needed to be done. Any insight on this? I was looking to upgrade to the regular 07 lights instead of the Type S.

the LED mod that you are speaking of .. is that people thought that you would have to change out the LED clusters since originally it was assumed that in the 04-06 tails that the LED clusters were white when lit behind the red plastic of the stock tail
it has since been proven that the stock LEDs LIGHT UP RED .. therefore no mod is nessecary
i just received my 07 base tails in the mail today though i have not installed them

Shouldnt it be understood to be that way in the first place since you need the same LED colored bulb as the cover to get the best light output? if you have a white led with a different colored lens on the outside, light output is dramatically diminshed since it is in a different colored spectrum.
i think the initial confusion was that people weren't sure if the LED's in the 04-06 were in fact RED or if they were clear behind the red plastic .. that obvis has been cleared up

I really want to see how this turns out. Please post some pics when you get a chance. I wondered if the 07 base LED board was layed out the same as ours. I like the base 07 lens better than the type s one, and am considering doing this mod if it's as easy as swapping out the taillight.

excellent, looking forward to the pics. I think you will be the first to do the base TL taillight swap.

Well if anyone wants to buy a set of 07 base tails I will let mine go once my Type S tails come in next week. I really prefer the 04-06 base tails over the 07 base tail. The Type S tail is nice so I am swapping to them next week, but have nothing to do with my 07 base tails.
