Icon2 RSX weird tail lights

I saw an RSX pull into the shop I work at, had work done, (exhaust, lowered etc.). It had these weird taillights though, the only way I can describe them is kind of like the scion TC tails. Like that curvy triangular shape, all red lenses. Now I looked for quite a while on the internet for pictures of this, and was wondering if maybe they're aftermarket or he had some kind of conversion? Don't remember if it was type s, pretty sure it wasn't, and I didnt have a chance to ask the owner before he left. Wondering if anyone knows what I'm talking about or have seen something like this. Looked good, I liked it better than the lights that come with the car, and I'm trying to pick up a RSX Type S soon and wanted to do that to it.

Should have snapped a pic. You're positive it was an RSX?

Hmmm... Maybe, I remember it being more pointed than that, I dunno, was probably some sort of aftermarket body kit.

Could be a Canadian RSX, cause badges an all are RSX but the body is more of a civic. Search google. or Cardomain.com or something.

This is what I think it was, as much as I can remember, its from an 05 TL... Interesting to see if thats a valid conversion..
