No condensation.

Very easy install.

Cons:
They're $300+ for something you don't see and doesn't improve the ride.
Depending on how you look at it, it slightly changes the uniqueness of the 10 Series.
Too many to choose from and I think Tom's is the only one that has a proven quality (unlike some Chinese made generics out there).
A lot of them look cheap and ricey (haphazard square array of LEDs in a circular housing).
Personally I have solid red JDM toms on our 10 series.

Your 100% correct the time are the top of the line and we see the least amount of issues with Toms

If you have a 10 series hit us up for special deals for owners :-)

Is it seasonality, deep discounts or an improving economy driving the sales uptick this month?

Either way, congrats to the new 10 Series pilots and welcome aboard!

For me, it was a combination of desire and the Toyota Corporate & local dealer incentives that drove me to purchase!

I went with the Valenti tail lights. Clear lens with red housing. I got a really good deal on them and didn't want to go the smoked out or solid red look. Any style works for this car, I just love the look of these at night.

How did you like the hot lava color? That's what I thought I wanted until I drove the 10 series.
