Tom's tail light gap
 

Just received my Tom's tail lamp from @RavSpec, they look great! Except the right passenger trail light seems to have a gap from manufacturer. Doesn't seem to be a way to push the tab in :-(

I'll contact @RavSpec and figure this out in meantime. Anyone else have this?

I have the same gap on the same side. It doesn't really bother me anymore. But I've seen others with perfect fitment.

U need to push it all the way into place before tightening. Thats what I did at least

Were you able to flex the whole tail light to push that in?! I'll give that a try.

I'm definitely OCD, can't have the gap!

I pushed it flush with my car while my wife tightened the bolts, may need 2 ppl.

There is a long protruding "stick" on the back of the taillights that needs to go into a hole to make it sit flush. Make sure that's in correctly. Make sure you didn't break it either trying to jam the tail light in there.

:cheers:

Definitely have someone else push the tail in place while you tighten the bolts. Much easier to do and will ensure a tight fit. After having my wife help out, mine sit perfectly flush now as well.

It's actually not the taillight against the body. That part is fine.

There is a tab on the side marker that is not seated. I would have to open the tail light and push it snapped closed.

I had these shreds of plastic in my clear tom's. It wasn't a big deal, but man it looked like it was scratched from the inside and very annoying to look at. Will@486power took care of it right away and I got it replaced within a week. Great customer service going on over there.

I have this issue with my clear toms also.

Replacement sent via 2nd day air and return label inside.

Please help me repackage them securely so I can get them back to TOM for new replacement.

Going to take one from inventory to take care of your issue first and do the return later with TOM.

They want the actual light back to their warehouse for inspection before warranty.

Random question since I don't wanna start a new thread. I have toms tail lights. If I wanna go back to stock, do I have to switch back the stock relay as well?

You won't really have any issues if you use the Tom's relay with stock tails. The only thing is that normally if your turn signals are out, the stock relay will hyperflash... now it will never hyper flash if your turn signals burn out.

You should be fine

I just found out that I have the exact same issue. On the passenger side too. @RavSpec I got these from you as well.

+1 on this, I was having this problem and that prolonged "stick" that from the OEM tails could have easily broken and got stuck in its slot if the tails weren't pulled straight out, if this is the case just get some pliers and pull it out.

Looks like this is a wide spread issue. Ravspec was nice enough to send me replacements, but they had the same issue. Hardly noticeable unless you're looking for it. I've had a couple hard rains and no leaks yet, which was my main concern.

My Tom's is perfect fitment and no leak. I order it from local vendor in Japan.

Lol, "is this real life?" Are you guys really stressing about that small gap? Just curious? Maybe a "because race car" sticker is in order. I have toms, same gap…WHO CARES!?! Lights are sexy enough to not have people look there ;)

The reflector gap... Actually looks like it's about to fall off if it weren't for the lens housing.
