Buddyclub VS Toms Taillights
 
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 :D. And i see lots of members have the Toms so i was just wondering why :).

Opinions?

Cuz TOM'S are the tits

ZionsWrath 07-25-2014 03:36 PM

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.

SomeoneWhoIsntMe 07-25-2014 04:28 PM

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

MokSpeed 07-25-2014 04:56 PM

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 :wub:

skyloran 07-25-2014 05:55 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.

My bad, should have added another quote haha. The first paragraph was in response to your question, the rest was for OP. Sorry bout that.

FRS_FIEND 07-27-2014 12:21 PM

lol all good bro

kalamitykode 07-27-2014 01:03 PM

For reference, OP, here's a quick video I made with a crappy camera and a crappy cameraman. And crappy editing. It's crappy.
They do look better in real life, otherwise I wouldn't have them on my car, but you can tell how they just blur at some points. Especially with the brakes on (second set of light displays). They do this even without the VHT.

Edit: And dear Jesus do not tell me my reverse light is out, I know it is.

TOMS for the win!

ck-GT86 08-18-2014 02:09 PM

My gosh, didn't realize how annoying those Buddy Club's look with the signals on. Glad I got TOM's

.ck

Dadhawk 08-18-2014 02:27 PM

Tom's for the win if I had to pick. I actually like the Buddy's look when not powered up, if it wasn't a Lambo ripoff, but once lit up, I actually prefer the factory lights than the Buddy's
