Shortly after I order my HEL oil cooler, I get a message saying it'll be delayed, but 2 days later I get a package from HEL? Opening the package I see "TOM'S" printed on the box inside the package... Hang on a second....!
SURPRISE! Wifey bought me brand new Tom's tail lights because she knew I've been eyeing them off but would have never bought them for myself because I don't usually buy things that don't affect the cars performance or reliability. She secret organised this with Import Monster and BRZ mate (Hi Jorge!) without me even knowing. Sneaky!
Princess confirms "This is tail lights, not oil cooler. Bamboozled again!"
Woohoo! Oil cooler soon quicker than expected! ....
(Yes, she forged return address haha)
They must of ran out of boxes for the oil cooler....
Brand new Tom's!
Makes me understand why people get hooked on buying parts to dress-up their cars.
Looks fairly easy. Single harness and 4 to secure.
Flasher unit included to replace the OEM one to make sure the indicators flash at the correct rate. Hopefully not too hard to install.
Famous last words.... Removing the OEM flasher from his mess took ages!
OEM flash with its clip that made it rather hard to install along side the new one.
Oh, I've never really paid attention to the OEM indicator. Here it is in all it's glory.
This is the new Tom's one I tested before mounting to the car.
Rear tail lights removed and cleaned up. Apparently water runs over the top of the housing so the surface needs to be clean for the new gasket to seal without any leaks.
All done!

Looking a quarter of a million dollars!
... Ok, maybe not a whole quarter million, but it's not bad for a fraction of the cost! haha
