Failed Tom's Tail lights
Anyone else with Tom's have any problems with their lights? I love mine but my left light has a broken reflector that will be exchanged once the guys get the stock in. Now I've seen that my right tail has a LED dead.
Before I bought these i researched them and they looked like a solid choice. Maybe mine is just a bad batch? http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...d7c517df25.jpg Right side (dead LED in corner) http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...6e7574654d.jpg Left side |
These are with the brakes applied right?
I've been running mine for a little over a year and no problems. Sorry maybe you have a one in a hundred defective pair. |
No issues with my Tom's tails either
|
I believe your the first to have a defective light, there is another complaint thread somewhere, but those members were having problems with their lights sealing/condensation.
JDM 2 years, no problems personally. |

How do we fix them, or do we just have to buy knew ones? |
BTW the leds that dont work on my tail lights are the same ones you have.
The right is missing on the top corner and the left is missing on the bottom corner :( |

This is the Right tail light, its a little worse now |
I'm getting mine warrantied. Guys I bought from is going out of their way to send me new ones. Brilliant service.

Add me to the list, right/passeneger side brake cluster failed entirely sometime in the last several months...lights ordered Dec 2013 and only installed for ~5.5 months (yeah yeah, took me awhile to get around installing them). Asking for help from FT86Speedfactory right now over email.
Edit: yes, the photos are with the brakes applied, lights on and hazards on. http://i.imgur.com/6TPXB5Z.jpg TOM's Tails Fail... |
I have had mine installed on the car for only 4 months :(
I should e-mail them too |
i believe it's the gasket. you could try the ninja gasket and apply 3m gasket seal.

I don't have a condensation problem and I am in an extremely dry climate...it's that a whole section of LEDs won't light. If water getting passed a gasket caused a short, fixing the gasket isn't going to fix my now broke LEDs (though of course if that did cause the original issue I will have to repair it on my replacement) |
