You cut open with a dremel and then reseal with various products. Personally, I use butyl roll and smear over seam.

Removing the frosted lens is what gives the look of the individual LED look when braking.

Yup same style. Its the 'rockstar' style…jeremy first came out with it.

its type-s with black bezel and carbon fiber lower reflector. work is $150 plus shipping/local and would need 07-08 tails. If you don't have 07-08 tails we can find you a used set or get you a new set of OEM tail lights.

Bruce, how much for these? I have 07-08 Base tails for trade in. What color is the trim bar on these? It almost looks chrome? Id prefer that to be NBP along with the bezels, but not too picky on that.

Are these for sale?
I have mint type-s to trade if necessary, although removing them and my bumper in 5 degree weather does not sound like fun…

NO garage for me :why me:

Anyway what's your price?

Thanks!

Nevermind…

Just realized these are base TL headlights.
If you have something like this for TL-S I'd be all over it.

Many Thanks

unfortunately no one wanted them so I reopened the set to get trade ins back on track. i do however have the color changing halos. i sent them in and because I do so much business with umnitza, they send me a brand new un used set of color changing halos which I will be selling to a customer for $250, which I can install for extra on top of my service charge or $250 plus shipping..Please don't ask me to do lower because these are $300 new ($50 off) already and mine are new. I will then just wait till the next customer that wanted these and would have paid the $300, but will use this hook up.

How much do USR or type s diffusers go for? Im looking into getting my headlights modded soon but I don't really want to go with no diffuser on my base headlights. The stupid orange diffuser is the only color I have left on my car.

work would be $190 plus shipping (clear turn is extra for me to removed from the base 04-06) plus cost of new tails which are $205.
