I have this issue with my clear toms also.

Replacement sent via 2nd day air and return label inside.

Please help me repackage them securely so I can get them back to TOM for new replacement.

Going to take one from inventory to take care of your issue first and do the return later with TOM.

They want the actual light back to their warehouse for inspection before warranty.

Random question since I don't wanna start a new thread. I have toms tail lights. If I wanna go back to stock, do I have to switch back the stock relay as well?

You won't really have any issues if you use the Tom's relay with stock tails. The only thing is that normally if your turn signals are out, the stock relay will hyperflash... now it will never hyper flash if your turn signals burn out.

I just found out that I have the exact same issue. On the passenger side too. @RavSpec I got these from you as well.

+1 on this, I was having this problem and that prolonged "stick" that from the OEM tails could have easily broken and got stuck in its slot if the tails weren't pulled straight out, if this is the case just get some pliers and pull it out.

Looks like this is a wide spread issue. Ravspec was nice enough to send me replacements, but they had the same issue. Hardly noticeable unless you're looking for it. I've had a couple hard rains and no leaks yet, which was my main concern.

Lol, "is this real life?" Are you guys really stressing about that small gap? Just curious? Maybe a "because race car" sticker is in order. I have toms, same gap…WHO CARES!?! Lights are sexy enough to not have people look there

The reflector gap... Actually looks like it's about to fall off if it weren't for the lens housing.
