awwww...shiettt...


Thanks for the shout, bud...great execution.
Mine are currently under construction, not sure why but my right clear lens has these huge spiderweb cracks that come and go depending on weather? I plan to fix it.

Don't worry, I made them myself, Bruce's are immaculate.

Recently did a similar treatment on a set of base reds to see how they looked, another option for the oem look, on a budget...not as pronounced but looks cool, I think.

Sharing for Bruce, I know you've done similar, but in case someone likes it.


OEM left, modded right. CF on reflector, black gloss bezel and frosted diffuser gone

Thanks, man...

I like it too. But a customer would rather pay a little more and get something completely custom. I have done a few blacked out base red sets before but not many.

rossv1

Damn, I like that all red set.

AckTL05

iTrader: (18)

just installed these for a customer. He had DEPO headlights and when removed, they literally were dripping water out and the halos were faulty.

We found him a set of OEM headlights/installed supplied halos and my custom wiring harness for the halos to have a switch for them. Blacked out V2 with carbon fiber sides and ZKW-R lens:

jkopuffs

had JnC do my halos before I saw your work, he told me he couldnt do quads on mine because of my fogs and that they will melt over time... do you agree? or care you able to do quad halos on 06 oems

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

Ohhh I missed here J.
So it's just the stock tails with black bezel.. which is what I wanted, but I love the oem look that I just can't make Bruce touch them



+ I want rockstar tails too

AckTL05

iTrader: (18)

The way I do dual halos on 04-06 it goes around the fog nipple. I wouldn't think they will/should be a problem as they go in headlights right around the HID unit which produces a lot of heat. I am pretty sure you wouldn't run your stock fogs all the time anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. Also, why not just use those are spares and install the accord fogs I sell?

i never understood why ACURA put the fogs in the same projection beam as our already powerful projectors..

To install these dual halos on 04-06 its pretty complicated/time consuming and I have to make custom brackets to hold them/run the wires..To this date, I can count maybe 7-8 sets i've done with the dual halos on the 04-06 TLs.

thanks Meko.
Bruce, finally posting up what you can do with headlights! Glad to see it, man. Awesome updates and work done to the lights. I love it!

J the subtle reds are sick.

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

I would use LED bulb for the upper fog with halos
It'll look sick and no heat-up

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Thanks Chad,
Cheap to be had since base reds are everywhere...and just what you dig, slightly modded OEM look.

Meko, yes sir, LED all the way, keep the heat down.

J.

Not trying to threadjack, just like to show other options for Bruce to be able to make for members.

^That is EXACTLY what I want.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Go for it!

It's:

Base reds
Painted bezel gloss black
Wrapped lower reflector with CF
Removed the Frosted lens diffuser

^Already PMed Bruce.

I'd do it myself but I'd have to track down a set of base tails. I'm hoping he has a spare set to sell/trade-in.

AckTL05

iTrader: (18)

I will get to your pm in a few, I have a bunch of stock reds.

Thank you. This new laptop is awesome, finally something that doesn't take hours to upload .

More to come.

Thank goodness, man...based on picture updates alone, you were hiding in a cave.

Hey Bruce what's the turn around time on headlights??

iTrader: (4)

That looks really good, maybe I'll try it with my originals and sell my Type S tails.

Thrall

those look sweet bro

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Thanks everyone...
ironically, the cracked/chipped right side type s modded one leaked today, never happened in the last six months so I'll finally get around to fixing that. For now, I'm frankensteining it and rocking 2 different tails...

AckTL05

iTrader: (18)

once paid, depending upon the day of the week paid, its 2-3 days max and they will be sent out. Also depends if you order color matched paint which I would have to wait for, halos, any special item/design. The normal blacking out though takes 2-3 days give or take once paid.

Send me a text I will help with that leaking problem...

mistuhandy

Another master piece of AckTL05. Loving my new heads and tails. Need new led switchback signal

MEKO, why'd you quote without saying anything?
Bruce, will do, brother. Thanks. Well, I wasn't sweating it much, because that's the same tail with:

1) corner chipped, found and glued on (thanks fedex!)
2) lens gets these long cracks that come and go
3) water inside, but will call you to see how to combat that, I've never had an issue with that before.

Yesterday, opened my first set of depos and what a PITA! Cheap plastic slags worse...and basically seals the bezel in until you go back around and cut it out.

Do you like me sharing ideas/pictures here, Bruce? I just do it to show other options in case someone wants to pay you to do them.

MEKO

iTrader: (1)

Oh he did edit the link for the pictures
Can mod delete? hehe

LOVE your work, will soon purchase head and tail lights from you AckTL05

RockStar143 will soon start picking your brain on some work I want done.

AckTL05

iTrader: (18)

Sounds good and can't wait to execute. I have done a few crazy custom jobs, but only for myself or people who agree to give me as much time as it takes to finish it.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Like voltron, baby

Luis1855

Them taillights look nice

mistuhandy

Can you text me pics of those crazy custom jobs?

AckTL05

iTrader: (18)

Yeah just shoot me a text, 732-208-2014.

I will post some up soon just have to upload more pictures. Its a lot faster and easier with this new laptop so expect updates often.

AckTL05

iTrader: (18)

Yours was one of those custom jobs (tail lights especially since they're very rare to find (CDM)). The other ones are crazy color schemes/dual halos on 04-06/ dual projectors (but those are mine and will be done soon)

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Here's one I made...I never liked how dark the signal areas were on the depo smoked tails...so I chromed out inside there, then did the "rockstar" treatment on them. I made red lenses out of the clears out of my original base reds, bezel was already matte black, and removed frosted diffuser.

They're basically a darker version of the original ones I made.

colindunn

I do not know if it has already been said but what do you use to re-seal that tail lights with?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Bruce has a top secret goop he uses...he only shares that it's made with beet juice, honey , horse hooves and galvanized steel but will NOT divulge how much of each to ensure it remains a family secret.

AckTL05

iTrader: (18)

Lol yup, it's kept right next to the coke cola recipe.

I actually do a 4 step seal process to ensure no gaps/holes which can cause leaks. One of the sealants steps I created myself and it can't be bought anywhere. Basically need glue and make sure it's sealed, I've seen things used from hit glue gun to superglue.
