Tom's USDM LED Tail Lights
 
We got these in early this week, and just wanted to share some nice high quality photos. No one ever shows off how nice these are. :(

Yo got to spend some intimate time with them in our photo room so here we go with the photos.

I like the time you guys take on photo and product presentation, well done. Are these pinned to USA specs guys? Asking as some have been mentioning re pinning from various vendors..

jflogerzi 07-10-2013 03:00 AM

jdm-az-fuk 07-10-2013 08:19 AM

Yep these are the USDM spec ones no re-pin needed.

Sorry guys, photos mounted on a car can be found else where. We only have a couple and don't want to mount them as that would put them in the used category. Maybe once they become a little easier to find.

Only thing I don't like is the "Tom's" on the bottom where I can see it. I know its tiny but ever since I noticed it I can't stop seeing it lol

That is because you are drunk. People PAY for the "Tom's" like people pay for the volk or works

I dont think anyone would care at this point. They'd just be happy to have them. I keep seeing these on the frs/gt86 but I think they would go best with a brz to keep the headlight theme.

I wouldn't pay extra for little logos on my stuff. Not that kind of guy. Definitely not drunk, stuck at work so maybe I wish I were lol

Has anyone confirmed if these have the side emitting light installed or not?

Any chance for off angle side night shots with the blinker on? I'm mostly concerned with the brightness for drivers in the blind spot area clearly seeing the blinker going..

Thx!

glorydays 07-10-2013 01:49 PM

Took these last night. Not my cars.

Oh yeahhh guess it's a Taiwanese company (http://www.tradecarview.com/pr/661544/). So I got Taiwanese tail lights, Taiwanese wheels, and the best phone in the industry (HTC One) from Taiwan. And my tires are Korean.

denkigrve 07-10-2013 02:32 PM

Tail-lights look pretty decent. Probably the nicest aftermarket ones I've seen to date, just not my style yet. :( The photos definitely give you a good idea of what to expect, also horray for red.

Lol ok. You a Windows or iOS fan? These recent few months at my job have been dedicated to WP8. From a development standpoint, it's a nightmare. Microsoft makes it such a pain to work with these phones. Cool phone, just doesn't feel as versatile to use as Android (maybe I just don't have enough seat time with it).

Getting too offtopic for the thread, but I don't think there is one "best" in the industry. I think each OS line has it's "best" phone. There will never be just one line of smartphone OS.



Back on topic. I just finally noticed the Toms logo people were talking about. I thought they were talking about the sticker. I'm not sure the plastic placement will be too noticeable, but it is a bit like wearing a brand.

Yap, "best" is subjective at best. We can only argue about why we think something to be best. I made a bold blanket statement excluding the OS and know I'm biased.

The TOM'S logo is hardly noticeable. I installed my lights on a Monday and didn't notice the logo til that Friday (you really have to look for it). It's etched from the inside so it feels smooth when you run your fingers over it unlike the raised D.O.T. letters on every lamp of your car. And cleaner than the "TEMPERLITE" and associate cluster of logos etched on all your windows.

Being anal about the TOM's logo means you must hate all your lights and windows by the same reasoning.

I give it about a year or 2 when TOM "knock offs" are out on ebay for 1/3 of the price. Who gives a damn about the TOM's sticker or logo. They're just tail lights and should only cost what non OEM tail lights cost.

ugadogs_11 07-10-2013 06:42 PM

Ever since I saw them on Rally Sports White I want them extremely bad.

DuMa 07-11-2013 03:16 AM

whats the difference between the TOMs USDM and JDM lights anyway?

Quoting myself from the Cosmetic Mod section:

1) It has D.O.T. lettering on the casing.
2) The casing is clear whereas the JDM version is tinted red.

Edit: Ok to avoid confusion, I was referring to the DOT-approved TOM'S lights sold under Helix. This is different from the JDM TOM's tails that have been re-pinned for USDM harness (because JDM harness is different). So there are 3 kinds:

1) JDM TOM'S tails (unmodified)
2) JDM TOM'S tails modified for US harness
3) USDM TOM'S tails (DOT-approved)
