Every1 is all the type S tail lights suppose to have the dark crome surrounding around the red? Cause my type-S tail lights that I ordered off acura of escondido came with the surrounding area black instead of a darkish crome. Are there two types of type s tail lights or is this a fake light?

fake lights... hmm, interesting. I personally would prefer black instead of dark chrome, but I think the stock typeS has dark chrome. I have dark chrome.....

wana trade? hahaha

Well no matter in what angle i seem to put them in they dont get any lighter. They look metallic black. Ill see maybe outside during the dayime itll look like the dark crome. Does any1s type S tail lights look black at night under the light?

06_TL

I just have to laugh when I look at this picture. I mean, are you purposely putting red and black tail lights onto a red and black blanket, or was that a complete accident? Talk about confusing the eyes...sheesh!

Not a helpful picture (but funny as hell if that's what you were trying to do).

i didn't do it intentionally. just so happens that i had my 49ers cover on my bed at the time.

After the install, do your tails stick out a mm at the bottom?

brettallica

GOOOOO RAIDERS!!!!

I think those would look alot better on my antracite than the red tail and side lights, where do you get them and what did they run?
Thanks

I don't have any issues with them sticking out.

leedogg

its absolutely flush? I can feel a very slight ridge at the bottom.

i notice that my tail light sticks out a bit at the bottom towards the trunk area after the type S light install and 06_tl's pic above looks like its a bit out. can you guys confirm because i think i may have done my install wrong or something arg, my first installation and i mess up (not to mention it took me more than 3 hours to get it right)

leedogg

Well, the TypeS DOES have a new bumper, so perhaps it doesnt match up precisely on the 06 bumper. The only part of my light which sticks out at the bottom is the clear lens part, the black plastic underneath the clear lens is flush with the bumper.

those are black chrome. that "mettalic black" as you call it is the same black chrome on everyone else's type-S lights.

I installed my 07 tl-s taillamps this past weekend and experienced the same thing but only on the right side. I went through the process of lowering the bumper, removing the taillamp and readjusting the bottom mounting bracket. I noticed there was a little play on how the mounting bracket is screwed onto the lamp housing. It fixed it for me. Hope this helps!

Thank you guys for the reply. It's also the clear housing that doesn't seem flush for me too. I will give it a try when the weather gets nicer. for now i'm just glad i managed to put everything back together. u pros out there make it seem like such an easy job and if it wasn't for the endless pages of instructions on the forums i would have been screwed for sure. THanks again!!
