WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR BRZ TODAY?

[TEXAS_LE]

Just changed all my interior lights out with L.E.D ones, I think the difference was definitely worth it.

I think you can purchase that module separately.

Japanparts is offering them for less than $400 shipped, pre-painted all the colors.

Yes. Sell your Tom's.


To me.

@chanomatik how much would you sell them for? It's been like a week since my wife yelled at me for buying car parts, it might be time again.

Well it looks like the TOM'S Clear USDM new sell for above $450 easily. I got mine for $500, but I overpaid a little to help out a dying business. I still need to figure out how badly I want to swap. I'm relishing the idea of having condensation-free taillights that have circular lights that kind of remind me of stock. I really like the TOM'S because they resemble the headlight's boomerangs, but I also hate that the logo is permanently etched on the face of the lens.

Plus there's the money, too. I don't have $400 for the other taillights at the moment and my job situation is shifting thanks to ObamaCare and working part-time (ultimately my choice, I know, but still adds constraints). I'll have to get back to ya on that, Sir.

Never had condensation in stock lights, nor in my newer valenti lights.

I imagine most cases are caused as tails cool down. As if parked in the hot sun, then surrounded by water and parked in the shade, pressure lowers and draws the moisture in. Could be a simple test for new aftermarket lights to send back for warranty.

Puddles in the light are a much bigger issue

Yeah my stocks got condensation. I wish it got hot enough in Alaska for the tails to need cooling down... haha It's been almost a year now and I don't even know if the vendor is still in business to where I'd bother trying to claim warranty. I don't think it's the taillights, I think it's the gaskets. That usually seems to be the problem with these ones that get condensation. And I'm just being a baby, the condensation isn't that bad and it's most noticeable after I wash the car, which I do often, because Alaska.

I'm still debating the INTEC lights. Trying to see what others think of them and also how it flows with my "OEM BRZ STI" theme. I like that it makes the car look a bit like a Lotus Exige.

hmm, well there goes my theory

I had this problem with my retrofitted headlights on my last car.. so heat makes more sense there, but not with LED tails.

These are really growing on me, but not too hopeful in locating a set 1:09

I like my valentis but jeez those are the tits!!

[meWant]

Scraped the front bumper. But oh well s**t happens.

Update: also passed the 100 mile mark. break in is so close but still so far

I just got done installing Remflex exhaust gaskets. No more leaks, woot! I hope they hold up better on NA than they do for turbo'd Subies.

organized some of my tools.
Still processing

That tool box is porn.

Very nice, @Figo. I need to do this!

What socket organizer is that? I tried a couple and they were all too tall for the skinny drawers.
