Looks good. I'll probably get a set when I'm Japan later in the year.

Freude am Fahren 07-29-2013 09:21 AM

Nice. I'm pretty much sold on these, after not really feeling them at first. They really do compliment the 'halo' on the headlights.


By the way, must be the lighting, but I've never seen Argento look that "flat" before. Not necessarily a bad thing though, it makes it look like a battleship gray almost.

Kiske 07-29-2013 01:29 PM

My wallet hates you. :)

Is the part that says "TOMS'" on the tail light smooth on the outside?

marky 07-29-2013 09:05 PM

so many lights to pick from i cant make up mind:confused0068: i like this also

tracerit 07-29-2013 09:19 PM

ric342 07-29-2013 10:22 PM

My friend took the photos and did some contrast/exposure adjustments, no HDR though.

Yep, it is smooth :)

uEih 07-29-2013 10:31 PM

That color paint is beautiful! Wow!! :eyebulge:

I'm undecided between Toms and Valentis. I'm honestly waiting for a black housing taillights.

Burrcold 07-29-2013 11:26 PM

No trunk liner? I thought it was just the frs that didn't get it. Oh and nice lights :D

IgnitionGundam 07-30-2013 12:01 AM

man will the price ever drop for these taillights?

Cameronghanson 07-30-2013 12:16 AM

Slightly off topic, what kind of lens/camera did you use...car looks sweet!

Canon 5D mk2, canon 50mm 1.4 lens with a polarizing filter :)

Love the sticker!

Why does your silver look so much cooler than mine...

lbroskee 07-30-2013 04:17 PM

Are these visible during the day? I know velentis r impossible to see in sunlight

DarkCard 07-30-2013 04:35 PM

soo much nicer.

Good camera, lighting and a bit of editing :thumbup:

Yep, theyre actually quite bright, especially when you're directly behind the car, brighter than the Valentis

BRZranger 08-04-2013 09:19 PM

Maybe I missed this, but brightness vs stock?

I would say about the same during the day, or a tad brighter, but much brighter at night. I drove behind my friend with the same lights at night and it honestly hurt my eyes a bit looking directly at them.

bakerfish17 08-06-2013 11:24 AM

Where did you get the back up sensors?

Acree 08-12-2013 06:34 PM

Do these tail lights have the side reflector illuminated?
Is the turn signal amber or red?
Are they JDM spec?

no illuminated side reflector yet

those comes with the DOT approved version due later this month.

I actually didn't want any more lights in the tail light to keep it clean so i opted for the one out now

these look better too. the USDM ones seem too aftermarket with the black housing and clear lens

Fizz 08-14-2013 12:01 PM

Looks awesome mate. Just curious are the Tom's made in Japan?

Those ones are aftermarket. They are the Helix ones, apparently Helix had been trying to get approved by TOMS and so far hasn't. The official TOMS look just like the JDM variant (with the side reflector to make it legal stateside). Here's the two group buys for the real ones.

Looks like TOMS will be making the clear ones as well, they just aren't up for pre-order yet.

Freude am Fahren 08-14-2013 02:36 PM

I wonder why they made the turn signal red instead of amber on those ones. I may go with JDM anyway.

I bought the jdm ones recently,

didnt care for dot, didnt care for side reflector light, didnt care for red turn signals.

the amber looks tight through the red lens, no side light means its cleaner imo (not too many lights jiving), they are plug and play.

GuerillaRacing 08-14-2013 06:18 PM

looks good!

They came as a factory option from Toyota

Not sure but I certainly hope so!

dnieves 08-17-2013 11:29 AM

nice lights... BTW sensors in the bumper? Are the turning lights still incandescent bulbs like OEM?

86SPEED 08-24-2013 08:31 PM

Thanks for posting our Thread on the buy on these -

We will have these In two Days. We will have plenty - We really like these lights - I like the point that you mentioned that these are safer and you can see them better during the day than some of the other lights - Toms is a quality hight end company and they always come out with Excellent product


Toms Group Buy



They really do look good on your car - I like the JDm spec ones also, Good point about the extra little light -

The only difference in the USDM spec ones is the extra side bulb and the Turns are Red on the USDM- So its a toss up - I like that everything lights up one color - looks cleaner IMO
:thanks::respekt::coolpics::thanks:
