2 Sets of Custom Tail Lights 3G TL

Category: Lights
Price: $0
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): TL 3G, Type-S Model
Location (State/Prov/Terr): NJ
Item Condition: Used

I have 2 Sets of Custom tail lights for sale. Each set has an imperfection so please read carefully. Both sets were originally made by AckTL. I am located in Monroe, NJ if any locals want to meet up. Call/Text 732-991-four8foursix

1) Clear Ghost Tail Lights with flat black bezel - DEPO Brand.
The side walls of the middle defuser have been lightly tinted, it does not effect light output at all. The side wall of the turn signal was also painted to match the flat black bezel. You can see these in the pictures below. The left tail light is perfect. The right tail light has a crack in the upper portion of the lens and two of the rear studs have broken off. I bought these new from AckTL in Fall/Winter 2010. $100 obo + shipping + 3% PayPal










2) 07 08 Base Tail light with black bezel, tinted turn signal and bottom reflector - OEM.
Light still shines through nicely through the turn signals despite the tinting. The right tail light is in good condition. The left tail light has internal cracks within the middle portion of the lens. I currently have these on my car and despite this imperfection, I have not experienced ANY leaking or condensation. They just went through a snow storm over the weekend and I did not see any leaking or condensation (pics below). The cracks are only visible on a certain angle and from a certain distance. You can see in the pictures below they are not really visible unless you are very up close. I tried to take the best pictures I could showing them. $150 obo + shipping + 3% PayPal









Shipping for each set will be roughly $15-20 depending on location just to give an idea.

the first few pictures of them on my car are actually with those exact same cracks, only noticeable up close and maybe a foot away.

Those cracks are a spider crack from pressure of some sort. This doesn't mean they are exposed on the inside or does it mean that the light is going to leak. They won't spread over time either like a cracked LCD screen. These type of cracks aren't noticeable unless your up close or if you are looking for it at a certain angle. If they aren't too deep, you can probably refinish the lens to make it look new again..

Great prices and this is great for someone that want a custom set from me and wants to save a few dollars. (Must want the exact set so I don't have to make the other side).

If anyone buys either of the sets and wants me to make them a new side, let me know.

GL with sale, these shouldn't last.

thanks for the input bruce! if anyone is interested in getting a new side made from him, i can drop the lights off to him so he can see the lights in person to make the other side match perfectly.

in the second set, those "cracks" arent even noticeable unless you put your face 1 inch away from the tail lights. Someone should def pick these up...i paid double the price for mine.

you forgot to add AckTL's labor charge to customize these tails for 150. these arent the same as the ones you posted. so your new total should come out to be 175 + 150 = $325.

read carefully, you would see that mine have the sidewalls of the turn signal painted to match the bezel and the sidewalls of the brake diffuser tinted as well.

the crack isnt really fixable since its on the plastic lens, need to replace it as a whole. you can probably still install them from the other two studs but you might run into condensation/leaking problems on rainy days.

best thing to do is use the internals from the broken tail and place them in a new opened up tail. theres a DIY on how to open up the tail lights OR you can have our vendor AckTL05 do it
