TOM'S tail lights for 2018 - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

KungFuWaffle · 01-13-2018, 12:38 AM

Does anyone have an ETA or where to buy? Some one on Instagram just recently posted his car with the tail lights on but not responding to messages or comments of where he purchased them.

They have been available for about a month online.

If you ever want anything from japan just use this site. It doesn't catch or translate all postings from the original sites it sources from, but it will get the job done for most products.

just search "buddy club brz" and they will pop up.

Damn, it's crazy how much more OEM the TOMs look just from having a red lens.

Ugh, if you're GOING to have an all-red lens, then don't put ORANGE turn signals underneath it!!! They are never anywhere NEAR bright enough once they get filtered through the red lens. LEDs emit very specific wavelengths of light. Put one color LED behind a different color lens and you're gonna have a bad time.

Turn signals/hazards are a SAFETY feature! Stop making them hard to see in daylight!

I don’t know about Illinois, but California vehicle code which probably reflects DOT law, a red or amber tail signal is acceptable. Many manufacturers come with red turn signals in the rear or white in the front.

That wasn't at all what I was complaining about. While I think turn signals should be orange, I'm not hating on red turn signals. What I'm hating on is orange turn signals set behind a red lens, rendering the turn signal a dim orange that simply isn't bright/visible enough during the day.

The video is literally called "Midnight," lol. It's during the day, in direct sunlight, where these kinds of lights usually suck. Maybe they're okay, but the first photo in this thread doesn't look very promising.

That’s why I said vids, referring to more than one, and in general, IRL and for other examples in vids of all types of tails, the red doesn’t seem to matter much. Even tints and such don’t prevent a contrast or hide the signaling enough.

These will be available this week at our store. As soon as we get a set we will snap some photos and a quick video to show the color and the functions.
