An aftermarket version of the stock taillights that retain the red portion while adding sequential turn signals would be perfect imo

@Unchainedmaple888 Год назад

Nothing will beat the previous gen Valenti taillights. The new gen taillight design, both stock and aftermarket, is so limited because of the rudimentary shape Toyota/Subaru went with.

@aerowick4643 Год назад

The Valenti Revos were 👌 it's the one I'm currently running on my FRS

@blacksheep5339 7 месяцев назад

I was saying the same thing also. Something about those Valenti lights that I just love.

@joenathan8618 Год назад

Your overlays are high quality and look outstanding. No need to spend $500 when we can support you with a $20 purchase! Thanks Kevin

@johnkeltner6501 Год назад

The bird noises in the background make the overlay install that much more chill!

@KevinVo Год назад

Nature baby!

@Joe_Av Год назад

I'm still sticking with the stock tail lights, I really do think they look and flow the best with the body style of the GR86. I have added your overlays though and will say that they have elevated the look 100%!!

@shiftculturetv Месяц назад

We haven't seen the overlays on your channel yet. We'd love to see how they turn out, as we're debating what to do on our builds.

@Reminding1996 3 месяца назад

Got my overlays in they make the car pop so well thank you and glad to be able to support!

@brunostiglitz7535 Год назад

Love this project build - love how you explain the pros and cons to the parts installed. Makes an insight to what parts I wanna buy for my future GR86. Love your seats I want them also 😍

@MolonFrikenLabe Год назад

Bro! I just bought all of your overlays. Thank you man. I am so happy I get to do this project and support you just a bit. Thank you so much for putting these out. The ratings on your overlays are 5/5. Can't wait to work on this. Thank you for everything you do for us man!

@KevinVo Год назад

@FujiboHeavy Год назад

Both look great mang!! Thanks for offering the high quality overlays! My yellow overlays have been holding up and looking great

@shiftculturetv Месяц назад

Bro! Those overlays look dope on your ride! I love how they complement the GT diffuser. We went the Liberty Walk kit, but yours is sick!

@isaiahbronsertmondragon608 Год назад

I recently bought your whole tail light kit to black out everything and it looks amazing! I was wondering if you’d thought about making a tint vinyl for the Toyota emblems? I would definitely buy those if you sold them! Keep up the great work

@randphillips4921 Год назад

Stock taillights with dark glossy tint overlays for me. Hoping there's something fresh that comes to market or an affordable clear lens option for the OEM style. Clears aren't for everyone but I think it'd look amazing with overlays on my steel grey GR86.

@miguelm3676 Год назад

Overlays works for now Thanks.✅

@bassworxdxb Год назад

Yeah you're bang on for me. Gloss fully smoked on the standard taillights and the matte fully smoked for the bumper. Just waiting for my car delivery then will be getting my order on! 🖤👌

@KrispySti Год назад

Had an FRS and miss it tons was looking at a GR86. I really loved the valenti tailights that got produced with the older Gen but curious to see if they’re gonna come out with one kinda similar for these guys. Really love the Aem Tuners 4th brake light reminds me of the matching one for the old gens and kinda want to see what they look like with the stock tailights I would think they’d flow nicely!

@corbinallred9235 Год назад

Just bought some driven media overlays for my 23 brz super hyped.

@bk8230 Год назад

Those stock lights look pretty good. I like that the aftermarket ones you own have more depth to the look. If there was like an oem+ look that gave the stock ones more depth without being too busy. It would be perfect.

@Dr_Lord Год назад

Kevin, great video! Looking only at the stickers, Dark smoke with the red turn signals and reverse tail light is my favorite. Light smoke is my least favorite. I went with the dark smoke on the OEM orange side makers for now while I spend the dollars on the performance mods. LED is the only way to go. I replaced all the lights except for the headlights. For map lights, I went with red, I don't need to be blinded at night. For side doors, I went with GR86 lights.

@MajorAddiction 8 месяцев назад

This review is fire my guy. Subbing

@Garthydude12 Год назад

I'm waiting for the right aftermarket tails, but until then the stock with overlays look best imo. Also really love the new stealth/Matt reverse overlay, that one's a must buy!

@holeshot26 Год назад

I'd pick the same overlays you picked! looks great! and the led reverse bulbs!!

@JerryVincent82 Год назад

Good video as always I don’t have a GR86 (VB WRX owner) however we have the same issue. I don’t know of any options for tail lights right now. I did purchase overlays, dark smoke, and it looks so much better. It’s a cheap upgrade until we have options and then can make a decision on what to replace OEM with.

@user-ei7oq6fk2s Год назад

I can't wait till my overlays arrive and see how it looks on my car

@nicklauher9323 Год назад

I did all stealth/darker overlays on the Neptune and it looks so good. Thanks again, KV!

@KevinVo Год назад

Thanks for supporting, Nick!

@daniyaalmaneveld3779 5 месяцев назад

It's beautiful. I have a GT86, based in South Africa. I initially wanted to purchase the ISR Performance Dual exhaust then the AWE Touring like you previously had but duties and shipping was too crazy. So we "Fused" between the Tomei and the AWE. Except, we used 4 101mm tips to keep the TRD look with the TRD rear bumper spoiler. I wish I could show U pics but it came out absolutely amazing. It sounds similar to your Tomei setup.

@daviddin8863 Год назад

Honestly I like the stock taillights a lot

@MolonFrikenLabe Год назад

Welp, I'm sold. Going to pick up a set from you today. Thank you man!

@devonpersaud4315 Год назад

Rooting for this channels growth, will be getting a set of yellow and red overlays for my raven

@KevinVo Год назад

Appreciate your support!!!

@kadengordon6941 Год назад

This is the only aftermarket option I'd get, but probably not for a while because of the price. Might grab the lighter smoke overlays in the meantime

@davidrobledo2495 Год назад

Overlays just came in and installed them today, made the car look a lot better for just a couple of dollars compared to a whole new taillight

@iokuse8498 Год назад

trd makes spoiler for taillights on top the rear stock tails with overlays

@PAT206ify Год назад

I went with the stealth reverse light, red turn signal and dark smoke reflector overlay. Red on red, black on black. huge improvement imo

@KevinVo Год назад

Great choice!

@cristianrodriguez5703 Год назад

Great video 🙏🏼 I think I will go with the Dark Overlays once my GR86 arrives, btw do you still have the $35 4th break light installed in the OEM Reverse light right ? I would like to see how it looks with the stealth black overlay on it 🔥

@KevinVo Год назад

I do, just didn't have it wired up since I've been switching tail lights on and off.

@weeweeman5510 Год назад

A lot of the after market tail lights look very nice when the running lights are on, but when the running lights are off you see only the brake light activate and their brake lights look bad

@marianoree1904 Год назад

Dark smoke Looks so good

@buntafujiwara3586 Год назад

The stock reverse lights are placed way too low to do much good and they are weak anyway, so the LED upgrade is certainly worth doing, even without overlays. I'm pretty sure those overlays would be illegal in my country, though. Also, the interior lights are supposed to be dull; it's a safety issue. So be aware that road visibility can be severely marred by having bright cabin bulbs at night, especially in the wet, and especially when your eyes are dark-adapted.

@jmackinjersey1 Год назад

I like both the light smoke and the dark smoke. Yes, the amber was different, but to me, it wasn't as nice as the other two.

@Trisma Год назад

I just want a good middle bar that lights up!

@workscs Год назад

I'd die for a set of OEM style tail lights but in that solid flat LED style that BMW uses.

@MCRJ16 Год назад

Can you try out the Noble TAS Smoked Sequential Tail Lights? I like the light up middle bar but im sure on the tail light design itself

@greenteafrap1200 Год назад

I'd get the overlays over after market tail lights. Used to have clear valenti when I used to have the brz. Nothing wrong with them but I think OEM looks great on the 2nd gen.

@KevinVo Год назад

Agreed!

@Red-Rob Год назад

Honestly I had the smoked HRS tails in my cart and was seconds from pulling the trigger but decided against it because I really just dig the look of the original lights with the dark smoke decals. I'd be paying primarily for the startup animation and the sequential signals. The HRS lights do look decent but kind of just decent. Like they aren't exactly wow-ing me. Not for the price. Waiting for better options.

@CarsOverPeople Год назад

I know I’ve said this before but I really hope they come out with an all red lense/housing version of these tail lights. Not a fan of smoked or clear housing

@atheisthumanist1964 Год назад

I really like the OLM scythe in smoke and red and the OLM F1 in smoke and red. I just put a deposit down on a 2023 premium mt and these will be the first replacements once it arrives.

@KevinVo Год назад

In my opinion, those are the worst looking option available because the turn signal looks like little sperm 😅

@cameronmarsh6910 Год назад

Would love to see the clear set when you get a chance kev thanks!

@KevinVo Год назад

You got it

@mariok4rt314 Год назад

Overlays for sure. Don't like any aftermarket options yet better than stock.

@shinrasfortune Год назад

I'm waiting on the ones from 78Works that release in June-ish, they'll be expensive but there's not many good options for this gen. I def miss my previous gen brz w/ smoked Valentis.

@highvoltage6275 Год назад

Happy Bday Kevin. Just placed my order for these. Then I saw your promo. Oh well.

@KevinVo Год назад

@DivineKaze Год назад

The detail about the different shape is a big thing. This is also why I disliked subispeed headlights for the WRX, because they bulge out and are a different shape.

@Diego-he1ku Год назад

It’s interesting the black smoked almost looks like an nsx

@dw8039 Год назад

another great vid man! great content especially since i have a 2023 86, and don’t know shit about shit. I have the same taillights as you, smoked and I love them

@Chickentenddies Год назад

Kev, you can't act like the Suma Performance Tail lights don't exist. It's one of the best for the 2nd gen 86 in my opinion. Even tho it doesn't have the indents that match the trunk shape, it is barely noticeable. It's the only one with a continuous "swoosh" like the Valentis on the Gen 1

@Boom-tj6nn Год назад

Ngl those are some good looking tail lights

@Jabin04 Год назад

The olm scythe tail lights are catching my eye right now, I really want an agressive rear like the first gen

@KevinVo Год назад

Those are my least favorite because of the sperm looking tail lights 😅 I feel like they're trying too hard to shove the Valenti design into the 2nd gen.

@z31maniac 10 месяцев назад

For example, with the backup lights and the turn signals, leaving one side stock and one side upgraded. Or one side stock and one side with the overlay at the same time would be a way better illustration of the difference in Lumens, right? As for aftermarket, nothing looks very good vs stock. The 1st gen yes, those terrible 2000-style Altezza style lights were terrible.

@kevintrinh8550 Год назад

Do you have a kit for the brake lights?

@KevinVo Год назад

I do not, as the lens of the brake light is too complex for a precut overlay. It'd need to be professionally wrapped.

@greentea_vsrg Год назад

First gen Toms/Valenti Jewels/Revos were peak

@JustinDang-lc6ek Год назад

I just ordered, the led kit and taillight kit for $126 cad but after I clicked order, it said there was a problem processing the payment so it didn’t work.. but it actually took money out of my account Can I get some help please? Just want to confirm my order went through

@KevinVo Год назад

Send in an email to info@driven.media if you have issues. If you did not receive a confirmation email your order was not processed. You may see a charge pending in the account, but it will not actually go through. Chances are your order got flagged for an address check. Did you use Apple Pay?

@ALXARTISAN Год назад

The overlays on your blinkers actually help the car, for some reason the dash indicators start going really fast but the blinkers are not actually flashing. With overlays it fixes the problem. This guy had a similar issue and posted a video for anyone curious about this problem ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dHwMCdlJfYQ.html

@KevinVo Год назад

I believe I read it was something to do with the sun's glare causing the hyperblinking.
