You will have no issues with TOM'S Tail Lights - any version. The USDM Red and JDM are visually and virtually identical with the exception of a inside the lense case side reflector plastic and a extra side bulb. Police would not have a clue - unless the cop owns a FT86 and is on this forum! But then he would be a cool cop wouldn't he/she?

Look at the pics in our threads...

True. DOT approved RED TOMS just means that there's additional lens on side.. from what I remember.

I think red TOMS look much sexier especially on WRB

Your insurance company may have an issue with these lenses. If you are struck from behind (for instance) in an auto accident your insurance company will send an investigator to assess your vehicle. When the investigator discovers that you have modified the lenses (a safety device) by actually changing their color the insurance company may, and have dropped insured clients leaving them liable for injuries, damage, etc. That could be a financial disaster in anyone's life.
Federal safety vehicle standards (FMVSS), and countless state laws mandate tail light lenses be red.

you are correct.......

switch that shit out asap if u get in an accident
