Buddyclub VS Toms Taillights - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Border7 · 07-25-2014, 03:24 PM

Has anyone had any issues with either? Do you have them on your car? And how do you like them. I am tossing them back and forth, i don't want to look like an aventador poser with the buddy club. But i think they look pretty cool

. And i see lots of members have the Toms so i was just wondering why

.

Opinions?

Cuz TOM'S are the tits

I seen both in person, TOMs has my vote.

My main gripe is the signal function looks like shit IMO

I see

okay, I was leaning towards the toms but did not know if anyone else had a 2nd opinion.

Yea they look great except the turn signal. I was expecting like a Mustang GT sequential signal :\

TOMs all the way. You won't fool anybody with the BuddyClub wanna be Lambo tail lights.

SomeoneWhoIsntMe · 07-25-2014, 05:17 PM

you'll fool dumb bitches, and that's all that matters

skyloran · 07-25-2014, 05:55 PM

hattrickey · 07-25-2014, 07:57 PM

I thought the buddy clubs have a switch to be sequential or not?

p.s cant see the video, govt computer.

TOMs.
Awesome look and no way like cheap tuning trash.
Buddyclub looks just like wannabe Lamborghini.

After my Asphalt GT86 finally gets it's storm damages and scratches fixed I will install my TOMs. Hard time having them here for 3 weeks without installing them - insurance and paint shop are slightly busy...

I have them. Yes, they have a switch. You can make the whole thing just blink or you can make it sequential.

IMO, I love my Buddy Clubs but I think eventually I'll pick up some TOM's.

Keep in mind, my BCs have a few shades of VHT Niteshade on them (not blacked out, just darker than stock) but from certain angles, like behind and to the left of the car, you can hardly tell the difference between them being on or off. You basically have to be staring directly at them to see the lights on. Also, the sequence is so fast and blinding that it just looks like a blur because for some reason the lights seem to "seep" out and just light up the whole tail for a moment.

I think they're unique and clever (though poorly executed) and that's why I'm keeping them for now, but as I said, the TOM's are probably your best bet.

oh no I'm not planning on getting either of these tail lights bro. I was just wonder what zionswrath was saying that they weren't sequential, now I know it's because their sequential feature is too fast and not slower like the mustangs sequential feature. I bet there's something that can be done to make them slower.

I'm keeping my stocks, red out with clear turn signal is all I'm going to do.
