Yea I got the tails done by Ack awhile back and think this is by far the best style because even tho its smoked from the inside...cops wont harass because the bulb still shines through

if you have a stock car...get your tail lights done by this guy first...it will completely change ur ride

Nope, brakes arent applied in any of those pictures. Those are just standard running lights. Dont think that they are any brighter/less bright than stock.

Those are 07-08 with a light tint on the frost and a light tint on the turn signal with a smoked reflector which still works and a black bezel.

Oh yea and I forgot to ask, is there any way that the red side piece could be tinted just a small amount so that it would just come out to be a slightly darker red but not tinted so much that it would substantially hurt the visibility of the stock bulbs? Or is it just either super dark or none at all?

For that style I just used a very light tint. If you wanted it to be more red and less tint then I wouldn't tint it at all. Then if you wanted it to be tinted more I can do that as well. Here is a style that I tinted a little more than that style:

Do those have a purple-ish tint on them? Or is that just a bad angle with a glare?

Our lights are LED and are VERY bright. I darken the insides with nightshade which is see through paint. The set in post 293 will be very bright.

Hey Ack, this is Kdets06. I don't know what the problem is but my emails to you are getting returned to sender (failed). Let me know where we stand with this stuff, and I would love to see a picture of the finished product. I am ready to send payment whenever they are done.

I was wondering what was going on. I actually receive the tail light today so I will get it opened today and get the tail lights done for shipment within two days. Let me know how you plan on making payment and which address to send them to.

This is the exact color scheme I was looking for. I was photoshopping them a few days ago to see how it would roughly look.

ACK, PM me to see if we could work something out.

I have these for sale. These are OEM tail lights in perfect condition but small chips on the sides as shown. Normal price is $385, discounted to $275 shipped.




I have these for sale as well. These are MINT DEPO, but you can never tell the difference since I worked on them. Normal price is $315, discounted to $280 shipped.

Got em installed

I installed my tail lights a few weeks back and they came out looking great!!! I have pics, but can't post them here until I get past five posts .

Even with the tint, the tail lights are still plenty bright.

AckTL05 was a pleasure to do business with - kudos on the fantastic work you do. I was especially pleased to see how well you shipped the lights.

Installation was straightforward. I replaced both the tail light gaskets and the LED board gaskets (Acura/Honda part numbers 33507-SEP-A01 and 33509-SEP-A01, respectively). The rear bumber removal and reinstallation went smoothly (check out this thread for instructions, as well as a link to another post which includes a video on the process.

It was a great mod that really changed the look of the car (at least from the rear).
