The set on the black TL.
Thanks! I would do exactly that, except black chrome instead of regular chrome and reflective CF vinyl instead of the bottom red. Possible?

Yes but to get black chrome its a special paint, so it would be a little extra, thats all.

Just email me at: BRUCEJTL AT GMAIL DOT COM to get the process going.

(2) custom ghost types depo tail lights.$225 +shipping
I "created" these about a year ago. They have held up very well. No leaks or fogging, Chips etc. They are in great condition and still on the car. Again I can use the money, and will more than likely end up remaking them later down the road once my finances are right.. It takes two tail lights to create this design. With the light smoked effect the, lights does not shine pink. I have not had any problems with the law with these as well..Also included is a red bulb covered with chrome to give it a stealth look and you can hardly notice the bulb.IMO this style goes very well with all colors. I can take more/better pics if necessary.( due to the camera angle and lighting the tails dont seem to "match" but I can assure they buyer that they are identicle duplicates)


can you email pictures and prices of the lights described above and any others you would think look the best on a nbp 07 type s to gompertzzz@gmail.com Hope to do business soon

I would need 07-08 for these. I can get you new ones or used depending upon the time. Price is the service of $150 plus shipping or pick up. You can also send in your 07-08 tails to be worked on, or send me a set from a website or something (but they have to be DEPO or OEM). I will NOT work and cannot work on eagle eyes..garbage tail lights..

Also, pleasure meeting you. Let me know about those panels.

I believe for those you need type-S tails and another set of 04-06 base tails to get the white internal diffusor portion.

I too want those...beautiful.

As you may know from my post in the blackmarket, I am going a whole new route with my TL. I redid my headlights/tail lights etc but its still at the shop with me pulling some things off such as the SC/INTERCOOLER which is for sale in the BM/vertical doors etc. I am going more show with all motor performance, so the main point is that I will post up some more work but I have been VERY VERY busy and haven't had time to post up pictures with installs/orders/GB/OEM parts etc..

I'm aware! And I can't wait to see what you have in store!
And of course you need a little 'me-time'.

Was hoping some members would post their pics.

I love this one.. yellow signals. I guess because never saw it on a car..
I have a question Bruce... well, correct me if I am wrong

Reason I love stock UA6 tails is because the red of the cover on the tails.
I don't like Type-S because of the clear glass (cover)
From far distance, you most likely see the glare of the clear cover, instead of the inside, which is dark frames and red reflectors etc...

but I like the red look..

UA6 has red glass right? Red cover?
Have you ever done this?
Just paint the inside frames to black on UA6 tails?
Black parts on the picture I posted..
and put back the red cover of the tails on

So, cover will be red and inside (frames) will be blackish, or smoked looking...

Thanks! Those are mine, did them myself but the parts that I bought from another member were cut up very horribly.. which lead to a lot of leaks and such. Also the outter lens was damaged.

Here it half a year back or so... maybe more. Was getting dark.
Poor photos. I don't recall taking much photos of the lights.

First looks like cover is tinted though, is it? That's why didn't like that one.

Second is the one. So it becomes darker red more than black

Gotta think more Thanks Bruce

Now with the yellow fogs, it looks way more beatiful. Awesome idea

Yepp! I've since changed my front switchbacks to yellow LEDs too. Trying to keep it a consistent theme. Thanks for the kind words!

MEKO, just the lighting on the image, he knows what you're talking about but it's hard to achieve that look without getting lost beneath the red lens. What you're describing is part of the reason I went with the look I did...I liked SOME red, but a little more sinister.

Yeah I know, that gap between the frame and the cover reduces the blackish I guess

I don't know dude, so many choices but can't do much thing with the one I want
I am always in between about the tail since the beginning
Not sure
