So I'll likely be going to look at a TL-S in the coming week.

One thing another member pointed out was that it had LED strips in it. I'll know for sure when I really look at it in person (4 hours away) but I'll likely look for replacement OEM units.

Are the Type-S any different from other 07-08 headlights? Fairly common on the used markets?

I apologize if this has been answered previously. Just a newb here.

Yes they have amber diffusers. And the inside of the houseing will be black - not chrome like a base model.

Those are the main 2 differences that are the easiest to tell.

Make sure they say stanley on the lenses and not DEPO. If they say depo then it most likely has been wrecked in the front or someone definately swapped them for some reason.

Simple, efficient answer. I appreciate the feedback.

Looks like the headlights on the TL may have been opened and just an LED strip installed in them. Still means I have to open them, but I'm ok with that.

No problem.

Its possible. My headlights have been worked by AckTL on here. JNC also does good work.

Pretty common around here that headlights and taillights have had some interior modding done.

No worries, appreciate it.

I've done a set myself before for HID retrofit on a previous Integra. Bake em in the oven, cut the seal and go at it.

^exactly what they did to install those goofy LED lights.

Unfortunately, it appears the car is NOT in great condition.

Was previously "stanced" :vomit:

Was purchased from Auction

Wrong rims (G35)

hole in drivers seat

Nav not working.

Unless it's just STUPID cheap, I'll be passing. I figure it likely won't be until after Christmas or 1st of the year. I'm patient and looking for the right car.


Thanks for the links. I'd seen the Ack guy's tail light customization thread. The first link brings me to a good point. Do you guys on here rely on Helms manuals or does anyone have one hosted or PDF? I'll likely need that.

looks like the previous owner treat the car like shit, glad that you are moving on.

What is the different between the DEPO and OEM tls headlight beside the price? Anyone have the DEPO one?


Thank you.
