The factory 2004-2008 TL tail lights yellow over time and crack at the seam. These Xtune units are a straight swap using your existing bulbs and wiring, so the install is about as simple as it gets. The red smoked lens adds a subtle blacked-out look without going overboard or getting you pulled over. If your tails are hazy or cracked, this is the cleanest way to fix it and upgrade the look at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do these fit both the base TL and the Type S?
Yes. Both the base TL and the Type S are covered for all years 2004 through 2008. Same kit, same part number for all trims. -
Do bulbs come included?
No. Pull your factory bulbs from the original housing before you remove it. They reinstall directly into the Xtune unit without modification. -
Will the smoked lens make my brake lights less visible?
These are DOT and SAE compliant which means they meet federal visibility requirements even with the smoked tint. The red smoked lens is a subtle effect, not a heavy blackout. Your brake lights will still be clearly visible to drivers behind you. -
Why are there three OEM part numbers listed for this car?
Acura revised the TL tail light assembly partway through the production run. The 2004-2006 cars use one set of part numbers, and the 2007-2008 Base and Type S each use different numbers. All three are compatible with this Xtune kit. If you want to confirm which OEM number you currently have, check the sticker on the back of your existing tail light housing or look up your VIN at parts.acura.com.
