Type-S tails!!!

Hey guys! I got in a fender bender a couple weeks ago and the shop that's doing the work said they'll install type-s tail lights for free if I bring them in when they do the work, anyone know any good places to get the type-s tail lights at? Links would be awesome!!! Thanks!

USR, Ack, OEM Vendors, OEMAcuraParts.com, AcuraOEMparts.com.
Are you saying they'll install them for, but you have to buy them?

I am assuming you have a 2004 TL Sport since that is the year listed with your avatar. If it is something different, let me know. The link you are looking for is below (SEE PART 3 & 10):

Just called Curry and guy in parts stated that due to the recent issue with the quality of work on these tails at the factory, there is a back-order on the Type-S sets....Whats up with that?

Was hoping to pass through on my trip to NY this weekend to pick up a set.

look at it this way, atleast they were up front about the issue. They could have beat around the bush and BS'ed you. Id rather find out from them then find out myself afterwords, but thats unfortunate for you. Hopefully you can find a pair of used ones or pick up some depos. Nothing wrong with replicas.

Yeah. I know that. Am willing to wait it out though. Rear bumper is peeling a little from a hit a few weeks ago and wanted to do everything at once.

Still not sold on Depo's.

i know what you mean by having it all done at once. I would have done the same. I personally would go all oem also, have you checked out the black market to see if anyone has been selling a rear bumper or tails yet?

I have had good results with Delray Acura Parts. I sometimes can't use them because of shipping charges on large boxes but other than that, no complaints.

I have checked but High-demand/Low-supply make those parts hard to come by. The most realistic approach is to either buy the parts new or buy replicas.
