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:

Base 07-08 (tinted)



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