Changing tail lights!

I'm probably not in the right section so this will probably get moved lol but I have a 2006 Acura TL color is Nighthawk Black Pearl and I'm either going to put the 2007 Type S light housing or the 2007 base TL light housing. which ones would look better?

I would probably go type s. I'm personally leaning towards some cleared ones myself.

I would say type-s but make sure the bezels are the same one you order them. I went through 3-4 different type-s tail because the bezels were a different color. One was a bright chrome and one was a light chrome.

Between those 2 I would go Type S. The 07-08 base tails just don't look right

I prefer Type-S tails on darker colours and Base 07/08s on lighter colours.

Example light:





Here's an exception to where I only prefer base 07/08s on an NBP:

Here you go:

Type-S


Base 07-08 (tinted)



Its your choice, honestly you can't go wrong either way.

Those tinted do look excellent...you all just did VHT nightshades in em, right? Worst case, if you don't like it you could always just cut that out anyway.
