I've been eyeing both of these. I wish the boomerang went all the way across on the toms though.
How are u liking the valentis? Are you comfortable braking during the day? Are they bright enough?

The brake lights and turn signals aren't the brightest during the day I'll admit but you can still see them. I haven't had any problems with them as of yet and I've been getting a substantial amount of compliments ever since I bought them. If you go with the smoked version, I suggest get the matching smoked reverse lights as the 3rd brake light helps plus it looks great. Hope that helps!

I debated between the two for a while. For my BRZ the Tom's looked the most OEM, to me.
















The Valenti brake lights and turn signals really bother me for some reason. Seems like they were an afterthought in the design and it just didn't seem like they were very bright based on what I have seen.

Yeah I definitely agree they didn't do the best of job with the brake lights and turn signals. I think they focused on the boomerang light and then realized "Oh shit we forgot the brakes and blinkers" and squeezed them in somehow.

I love the design of the Tom's and they look amazing on your car. But I felt the boomerang should've been extended more rather than half lit in my opinion.

Btw If anyone's wondering where we bought our taillights from, I bought mine from @ZetaPerformance and the Toms were bought from @468Power. They're both excellent vendors!
