i also have these for sale: I worked out a deal for this customer who purchased these on a new set and took these back on trade, $350 plus shipping. Rare CDM tail lights, carbon fiber bottom, black bezel with lightly smoked internals.
If you wanted to work out a trade for these plus my OEM type s tails that are mint let me know...I think these would look sick on my SSM, I need to send my headlights in also, maybe we can do an all around deal lol. I'm digging the blacked out theme/possibly carbon fiber theme with the headlights. I'm a 2004 SSM so let me know PM or text works 3152834606(text preferred)

I keep thinking of you whenever I see an Audi or newer Lexus...

Here's a link to a similar aftermarket idea for older Accords.

Those kind of "fit" into the headlights. i am sure i can install something like that though with some time and if i get the leds to check out.

Hey Bruce, figured I'd share this style too, in case someone is interested in getting them done. I nicknamed them "SUPER REDS"!





and here, base red to super red comparison shot!

I want this, maybe with some slight changes.

Are the diffusers removed? Are the brake/turn lights covered by a clear or red lense?

Glad I found this thread. Looking forward to getting my front and tails done soon.

I have a SSM Type-S so I'm going CF fronts, clear rear middle and sides with CF lowers.

Hey first off Id Like to say you do some really great work. I know I'm probably a month or so late but do you have any of the headlights or tail lights still in the picture. Or do you have any headlights available for an 2006 TL? Mine need to be replaced and I would like to go with custom ones. I'm currently stationed in Europe, Do you have any issues shipping to an APO address? Its not much more if any than shipping to a standard mailing address in the states but I have a lot of issues with companies shipping stuff to an Army Post Office.
