Tom Taillight USDM or JDM? - Page 4 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I wonder if cops will even notice / care about the side reflectors to pull u over. Such a small thing like that...JDM is def cleaner..but is it worth the risk...hmm

EDIT: Never mind, I forgot the current USDM ones are built by Helix, I do believe there are some legit Tom's coming soon though [October ?]

Anyhow JDM FTW!!

Guys both JDM and USDM authentic TOM's are made by DEPO.

I have both sets here with me and ill do a side by side comparison for these

Mine came directly from Tom's Japan and had red lettering with Tom's on the box. While the DEPO ones have Tom's and DEPO in black on the sides of the box.

Do your JDM tails have Depo stamped on them anywhere, specifically the tail light housing ?

Yup, I believe they supplied the housing for the real ones, as you notice there's an authentic Tom's hologram sticker.

These are identical to mine. My packaging has one label indicating Tom's and manufactured in Japan etc. No mention of Depo anywhere else on the packaging and no large red Tom's logo like yours. But stamping and Tom's sticker found on the tails themselves are a perfect match...

I have the USDM ones and they have Depo stamped and the Tom's hologram. Quality seems fantastic.

I think some of you are loco.

Awesome! I can remember reading somewhere about USDM Tom's being built by Helix ??

I dunno anymore...

Usdm has light on the side to make it DOT approved while jdm does not.

This is a comparison with jdm and usdm clear Tom's.
