I couldn't find a post if they were 39,900 Yen each, or for the set. I still think the Tom's look better, especially with the boomerang shaped light that goes with the front boomerangs.

Uugghh first world problems!!

I don't know, I'm leaning towards this one in red. This design isn't too overt and matches the theme of the brz headlights.

I haven't seen the Tom's lit up yet.

How bright are these tails compared to stock?

I was pretty set on getting the Tom's but I think my mind has been swayed towards these crystal eyes; I think they have a bolder and more attractive OEM look. The only thing I don't like about them is the "dead spot" on the LED diffusion strip/beam but it doesn't seem too bad from mxsled's pictures.

Yeah I didn't care for the dead spot at first, but from a distance, it actually looks cool to me
