This has been discussed in great detail in several threads but...
if you put the base 2007 TL tails (as opposed to the TL-S tails) on an '04-'06, you should (but my understanding is do not absolutely have to) also change the LED board to an '07 base LED board because the pattern of the LEDs has been changed for the base model. This is not the case with the TL-S LED board, which is the same LED pattern as the previous model years.
I don't know what it would look like just putting the base '07 tails on with the original LED board. Since the tails aren't that different, I'd think it would look OK.
Here is my '04 TL with the '07 tails (and yes, I did also change out the LEDs)
