Time to start modding 2012 TL
The Car is white and I want to black out the tail lights and red reflectors.
Has anyone done this? Whats the best way?
next Hyper White Tag Bulbs... What size bulb am I replacing?
Wheels, I want to replace the stock wheels with chrome...
They are the factory 17" so I want that size to keep the tires.
Are there any vendors that have good prices on wheels
If I'm missing anything let me know.

Im pretty sure I can remove the tail lights to VHT them, What about the red reflectors?
Wife doesn't want big wheels and I don't want to buy new tires and wheels right now.
Tag Bulb is the bulb that illuminates the tag

you can use VHT but it will turn out like shit without the proper prep.
VHT is not even good. read some DIY's learn some things.
i painted my tails red, cleared it, and wetsand and polish. if you know how to do these and have the tools, then your good, but otherwise pay a professional to do it.
umm honestly have no comment on the wife.. beside grow some balls...
tag bulbs, use search button to find, you will find it if you put some time into using the search function

I've you're looking for your headlights done - Contact JnC - he's a member here - you can find his thread in the 4G section. He does both headlights and tails. He will crack your tails open and paint them - or the other option is to find a place that will tint them (if that's your thing).
As for tag bulbs (took me a few minutes to figure out you were talking about Licence Plate bulbs) There have been a few people that have done this already. Potz is right - a quick search can find what you need here - lots of info already around.

And I agree - doesn't seem worth it to pay 800-1000 for new wheels that are the same size. But if you are looking for wheels, you will be looking for 5x120 bolt pattern, and depending on your width, anywhere from +45 to +35 offset. Head over to the tires, wheels section where there are a bunch of threads with some examples for you (probably not many 17's)
Welcome - and post some pics of your car!

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/custom-headlights-jnc-part-iii-796033/
Also there is a ton of vendors on here that are really helpful
RonJon for a set of nice rims also 4g grilles and body kits

LED lighting can be sourced from a few different vendors on here and the web.
Good luck with car. 2012 will be my next step up when the price comes down for the SH-AWD and 6 mt
