Tom's or Crystal Eye Taillights? Or OEM?

So I am on the edge right now as to which taillights to get. I have a whiteout frs and I love the idea of redding out my taillights. I've debating very heavily on these 2 sets. I'm also considering just getting my OEM taillights redded out for a lot cheaper. Here are some pics of the taillights and let me know what you think!

Tom's Taillights



Crystal Eye Taillights



OEM

It's all really up to your personal taste. If want to save money, just red them out. If you want to spend money and have a very similar style to OEM but with a custom look, go with the Crystal Eyes. If you want to spend money on something totally different, go with the Toms. Me personally I have a pair of Valenti tails waiting for me at the local UPS store for pickup. Choose what you feel would be best for your car. Good luck!

Don't know why but on pictures the crystal eye look weak....very light red!
But in person they look amazing especially with the LED stripe on!

Toms tailights looks awesome too!

Yeah videos and pictures make LED tails look completely different. It's prob best to check with some owners in person to see how they look. I am very satisfied with my Valenti set.
