How much horsepower do I gain? They look pretty good.

I would say at least 18.7 HP. I'm sure it would be more but they don't include any stickers...

Thanks,

Really? I have heard of people saying this before. Do they blink slower, or are they just slower to respond to the first tap on the stalk? I've tried to replicate this on our shop BRZ and my personal one as well, and I did not notice anything different compared to stock. Maybe I am just not sensitive to this like others are, but I did not notice any delays or slow blinks with the Tom's relay.

Thanks,
Rick

The first blink is definitely delayed. It hangs there. Then the blinking seems slower than stock. Will see if I can get a comparison on Wednesday at the local gtg

I will check this out on my car again as well. Too bad all of the BRZ's(3) we have here have the Tom's lights installed on them.

Thanks!
Rick

how fast do the tom's lights blink before swapping out the stock relay? is it a bit faster or a lot faster? anyone got a vid?

Wow it's just amazing how installing different taillights made your license plate so much brighter!

Seriously though, There must be a tool the dealer mechanics have for this. I can't imagine them going through this every time they have to replace a flasher which burnout occasionally over the lifetime of a vehicle.

Solution, lay down, look under the dash, reach up, pull down. I did not get cut up and it popped right out.
