You have to look for the original post, if you are quoting a quote it'll remove it. A lot of times I quote someone and remove the IMG link to not repeat the picture.

These were just some lights I did myself. I just shared here in case someone liked them since I know Bruce could make them very easily with only 1 set of (oem or depo) type S lights.

Here:

Hey man. Had a similar issue with my stock 08 tl taillights. Instead of a crack, water was condensing on the inside. Dealership said replacement was not covered under warranty and was trying to charge me $450 for a new one. I contacted ACKTL05, and got both tails replaced and customized. Work was top notch. Waiting to receive smoked side markers to post pictures. Send him

Guy does great work. I am extremely happy with the mod and definitely recommend it. Send him a PM and make it happen you won't regret it.

Thank you guys, I built the business on customer relations because customers are the ones who keep a business strong. Also I am finally caught up on everything from the storm and holidays so I will be posting some more styles. I just made a set like rock stars on a NBP, but no carbon fiber. I also did a set like rockstars with a light tint and type-s bezel..

As per headlights I did something different as well and I am in the works of doing a set for myself which I have been trying to complete for over a year now...I am just trying to get everything to fix properly and not be "too compact".

Reflections make them seem dirty, but thanks for posting. I will be posting some soon of install.

Also my project for my tl is at a halt right now as my track tl has a problem and my daily tl just threw a rod right through the block so those are my side projects right now.

All work for customers will me normal, but my extra time will be an engine swap and getting my heads ripped out of the other tl.

These are my absolute favourites and are next on my aesthetic mod wish list. Removing the red diffuser looks awesome; however, is it possible to remove the white diffuser as well? You wouldn't happen to have photos of this, would you? I think that the straight up non-diffused LEDs would look dope. Thoughts?

It would look really weird with the turn signal removed, but I could make it clear (almost like the ones I did for steven bell)..TYPE-S diffuser/clear center and turn signal with carbon fiber lower reflector..

Sorry, I don't think I was clear.

I meant the diffuser for the brake lights. They are normally red, but are cleared out in this photo. Behind that is the white frosted plastic - you ever remove that and just had the red LEDs visible?

Yes I have done that before many times. If you scroll up a few post to #1018, that set has them removed..

The set on the black TL.
