I refuse to buy anything from a website who uses the word "extreme" for anything car related. Dont even get me started on the use of "Xtreme"...

FRS and BRZ headlights have been confirmed to be the same.. I'm not sure how expensive it will be to buy BRZ headlights.. but you can swap them:

With the bumper on, the headlights are different widths. You can see in that other picture that there is a difference about about 1.5". This is indicated by the little plastic lip on the BRZ.

I pulled the bumper off the BRZ and look what I found!



You can see with the bumper removed that there is a plastic piece covering up this corner. Removing this small piece makes both the FR-S and BRZ headlight the exact same shape! This also means, customers can do some swapping out of headlights!

Glad we got to the bottom of that!

I can't blame you for not trusting something thats not a formal brand. These kits can be bought local from where i am. If you want something quality over $60-90 HID kits, these are the ones to go for Premium HID kits. In japan kits from BJ union and IPF HID kits cost $800-850 U.S.

The only benefitis that the blue HID tinge warns everyone that there's an oncoming wannabe tuner who at any moment may start to dureefto!

There's a reason HID conversion kits are outlawed in many jurisdictions.

Never heard that HID conversions are outlawed, nor have I heard many incidents, at least in Ohio, where someone was ticketed for an illegal headlight mod. Someone could be pulled over for the cop thinking the brights are on, but they are more of an annoyance than illegal.
