One of the LEDs in my Tom's tail lights went out. :( I was hoping to avoid it as Brandon had the same issue, but it seems it's my turn. Anyone know of anyone that's fixed an LED in the Tom's before?

I don't remember if you guys mentioned taking apart the unit, or if it's welded/sealed.

Brandon said it was sealed.

While I'm 100% confident in fixing the guts, not so much with the best way to get it apart.

I guess i am next...

I guess that will be my task then to figure out how to unseal it without making it unusable.

If you don't find a better solution, JB Weld will be our friend. There's also an amazing flexible epoxy we might consider.

Lolz. I am patiently waiting for my next, uh oh. I could see it being lighting related.:bonk:

damn dude.. its like your car is starting to reject all the mods you've done to it one by one!!

j/king

if i went aftermarket, i'd go TOM's. But! seems like all aftermarket lights have dead led issues.

If they're fused like OEM tails you can use a soldering iron to slowly cut your way through, it's what the people who paint the inside of their tails do. Then close it up with aquarium sealant after.

well that sucks, how long have you had the toms? mine are still good but have the one reflector on the drivers side that isn't set correctly anymore

Man this ain't good, I just got my Tom's tails a couple weeks ago

@WhiteFRS69 look another one

Bought these knowing eventually they'd die with no replacement parts, sad to see so soon for some

Take it to a shop who does retrofits they'd be happy to do it for you and I'm sure you'd get some kind of warranty.

I would much prefer to have a dead LED then the dead spider bro that is in my Tom's right now. Not even sure how it got into there.

Let me know if you take it a part, curious to see what the procedures would be.

Pictures?!

Man you have the supra spider! How could you want a dead LED over that?
For anyone who doesn't know

My crystal eyes do have that issue! Except it is a fish bowl...

I bought them from @booyaka back in November of last year. @booyaka do you remember where you purchased them and do you still have your order number so I can see if I can get them warrantied?

certainly curious about this, i've had mine for about 2 years now without issue, knocking on wood :bonk:

if you bought them in November how long did he have them for? the warranty is only 1 year long. Contact Buddy Club (the only importer) if you have the serial number etc and they can possibly help you out. I contacted every dealer about the issue and 90% of them basically said you are SOL if they are even close to a year old cause TOM's/Buddy Club won't even take them back to look at them at that point (Somebody knew they were going to fail)
