Tom's Tail Lights on Red FR-S/86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Ray_32 · 11-19-2013, 02:39 PM

I had my Valenti rear lights removed recently after a couple of bad episodes with dead LEDs (on both left and right lamps). Too bad really, since I really liked the Valentis and imo the light bar looked amazing at night. Perhaps I'm just unlucky but I'm tired of having to deal with something which to me is clearly not reliable. They are now on the way back to the vendor. After that, I called up a local vendor and was told that they had the Tom's in stock. I had them installed the next day and so far I like what I see. More photos to come when I have the time

BEFORE:

AFTER:

Note: There's a slight delay when I use the turn signal indicators though (about 0.5 sec) - perhaps its the flash relay provided by Tom's itself. Something I noticed but doesn't really affect real life driving.

@Ray_32

Get a Tap-Turn, solves the delay issue. I had the same problem when I got my Tom's, they all come with a crappy flasher.

Looks good on red, great choice!

That looks great! Your 86 is a near perfect specimen of this car. Very clean with simple mods. I absolutely love it!

Thanks,
Rick
