I'm going to be contacting everyone individually over the next day that is affected. Unfortunately we took all that Acura had, and the ETA of the next batch in WDP is the 3rd week of Feb.

All other orders are clearing out today.

Not to be rude or anything, but I installed mine as well but for inexperience installers there is a possibility it could have been chipped due to the fact you accidently pull the bumper out while trying to realign the sucker. Only reason why I know this is because it happened to me. It chipped cuz I wasn't careful installing the right side when putting the bumper back on again (I put it on but it didn't seem aligned so I pulled it out and try to realign the bumper and CHIP there goes a tiny little piece on the bottom left side of the lights on the right side). Honestly yours could have been chipped as Tim had another chipped, but i'm pretty sure (guessing here) he checks his merchandise before shipping. Just my that you probably didn't want to hear.

Another note not to sure how you didn't notice when you had to take out the old and take out the led clusters and wires to put it in the new one before installing it on the bumper?????

I probably didn't make it clear in my previous post, but let me try it again. When I first received my tail lights, I opened up the box, roughly looked over it and along with other accessoeries I had ordered (front and rear CF trim, 07 side markers, and a tl keychain), and then I installed the easy ones right after I received it, putting off the tail lights until today. So, today, I took of my bumper, took out my left original tail light, took out the led board, and bracket, put led board and bracket on the left side 07 tail light, put it back on, and stared at the left side and thinking to myself "man, that shit looks tight", then I proceed to do the same on the right side, took out the right side old tail light, took it back into the house, took out the led board, and bracket, and getting ready to put it on the right side 07 tail light, and then WHAM, thats when I found out about the chip on the corner, but since I already took off my bumper, and installed my left side, I decided to finish the job and put both of the 07 tails on. Then I went inside and emailed Tim about the problem, and hence, here I am.

By the way, how the hell can you chip the tail lights while realigning the bumper? there are four studs to guide the tail light back in, and the rear bumper just snaps right back to place!

Yeh it snaps in but when putting on the bumper the corners barely slide pass the lens that hangs out a bit on the bottom left have a look and you will see. And yes you didn't make yourself clear.

it is very easy to chip the bottom corners of the tail lights. when i was putting my aspec kit on and put the rear bumper back on it didn't align right for some reason so i had to try it about a billion times before i clipped the entire rear back in. i noticed that while i was fidgeting with the thing it chipped the inside corner of my right tail light.

Hey this might sound stupid but I just bought a TL-S and would love to have some all season weathermats. Anyone want to do a group buy on these? I emailed Tim and he said he would do it if we could get enough people to start the group buy.

alright, i talked to tim earlier today where he will have TL-S tail lights next tuesday as the same price listed on his website because thats all I need.

He can not do group buy on TL-S lights alone. He did said that about group buy on TL-S lights and sidemarkers. So lets have some head counts.

I think we should be a little more realistic guys. Tim has said over and over he is always in short supply of the Type S tails. I don't think a group buy on this item will be available for a while, if ever. Even if it is combined with the markers.

Well, he might if we show enough interest. That is really how a lot of, if not all group buys get off the ground in the first place. He can always say no, but what if he says yes!!!!

I think the ones who are unrealistic are the ones who think Tim will group buy the tails or side markers separately. He has already said NO to this several times.

FYI, I talked to Tim last Friday, he stated that he will have TL-S tail light coming in this Tuesday, 2-13-07, unless this has changed.
