I prefer the phase "easy tiger"

You could even be trendy and say, "easy liger"

yup, and there's plenty of rice tails for Acura RSX type-S, too. Don't worry, we'll catch up to you, too, I'm sure

 

I understand you. IMHO TYC makes some nice lights, and we can't please everybody. Toyota is buying these lights, and they will put them on at the port on a % of the cars, so like the lights or not they will sell. I'm just being honest.

I personally like the LED design, and it's actually a innovation since there are a lot of loop holes to deal with when making LED aftermarket tails. One of the reasons is the voltage needed, and we wouldn't be able to do it without Toyota's help.

As for pleasing the customer, your right, the customer is always right. So Toyota....thank you for buying TYC lights.

Now if you want to complain about the design, complain to Toyota, since they are the whole motivation on this. You do have to understand that the ones choosing your aftermarket parts are middle aged men that drive a lexus, or porsche. I know for a fact that Toyota isn't going to make another design since they put a lot of money into it.

I would recommend consulting another company for your designs if there is enough belief in that design. Companies such as Eagle Eye, Depo, and APC to name a few. I don't mind naming my competitors, since I know 100% that the quality of the lamp will be nothing close this TYC lamps (quality in leakage, potential damages, failer of lamp, chroming process, etc).

everybody has a point, and everybody has a right to their opinion. I'm just stating the facts at hand.

 

 

hello genious, acura is made from honda. i know there are aftermarket rice tails for my car. that doesn't mean that i'm gonna get them. i'm not the one in here stressing over the design on these tails or tails for the rsx.

 

I know acuras are made by hondas, and thank god you haven't riced up your lights like that.

on the other hand, we as consumers have the right to complain and critique over product designs. Without us consumers , TYC, Scion, and Toyota wouldn't exist.

Right JDM, thanks for that little remark. It seems that you don't think TYC is vulnerable to consumer backlash, because if scion customers do not want to buy it from their scion dealerships, Toyota may think twice about your design, too - especially if inventory starts piling up because lack of demand.


Yea, so we'll complain to Scion and Toyota, and sooner or later, you will hear it from them, too

 

Yes, It's not something I can do. I have been in the business for more then a few years, and I know there are a lot of haters, and lot of talk.

To end this arguement, TYC made something for Toyota, and it's now already in production. I can lie and say...we will work on it, but then that wouldn't make sense. i know Toyota will make back there $$$ with this, regardless of what everybody says here. I dunno how, but they will sell. I didn't like the Xb tails...they sell like hot cakes, the Xa lights I don't like...they also sell like hot cakes. Trust me, we only cater to less then 5% of the total car sells, and this will meet it. If everybody liked it...and it became mainsteam, it'll also lose the hold on the market. It's a long story and study we did, but Thanks for all your opinions.

 

Good luck to you Junkyard, seems like you're not a bad guy and I'm glad you at least can say that you may not like the tail lights (at least for the xa and xb), but they sell.

Hopefully you guys will have other products down the line soon, though, and perhaps you can persuade management to have a little focus group session with us, too.

Just a thought

 

i'm not planning on putting aftermarket tails on my ride, EVER. i prefer the clean OEM and JDM look. but what i'm saying about the tails is that there will be other designs out there. you will be able to find them at auto zone, pep boys, wal-mart, etc. for haf the price.

 

technically, if you put JDM parts on a U.S. spec car -- you ARE putting "aftermarket" parts on your car. JDM is often NOT "legal" in the U.S....mostly because a lot of JDM stuff doesn't have DOT approval.

but i understand the point you are trying to make. :D my first reaction to seeing the TYC tail lights was "OMG I'm blind!" i thought they were hideous. but as i look at them more, they grow on me some. plus, i have plans for my tC which might make these tail lights work nicely. dunno yet.

anyone know what the projected (or estimated) price on these suckers is gonna be? JDM Junkyard, do you know? I realize the final price may not be nailed down; I'm just wondering about a ballpark figure... THAT may also directly affect how well these things sell.

 

How much are the tails going for?

And maybe they wouldnt look so bad if we replace the amber bulb wit a red bulb. An extra couple dollars.

Its all personal preference. But i do think that the company should supply want the customer wants.. More costumers = more money.. Thats what your out for isnt it..

 

A little blast from the past:

That was from a thread a long time ago:
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...r=asc&start=25

 

They look pretty nice on that car. I really like the simplicity of the stock lights on the SW tC. It just looks so clean. Adding these to my car would look horrible... but nicer on the darker colors.

 

anyone know a price on these tails?

 

And also could someone photchop them on a bsp tc?

 

oh crazy

 

Well, I think there is already one car's taillight that does look exactly the same as our tC

Scion tC





Hyundai Triburon

 

well.. you mean the other way around. the tiburon was out way before. the new cobalt and the new pontiac G6 do bear a striking similarity to the tC's rear as well.

 

definately not feeling those......

 

I love them, they arent plain looking!!
