OLM Bixenon Low / High Beam Projector Fog Lights Installation

I picked up the OLM Bixenon Low / High Beam Projector Fog Lights to reveal the wooded surroundings at night on the way back from mountain biking - almost hitting deer every time is far from ideal.

I did some searching and haven't been able to find the locations for the following plugs:

"To stock high beam"
"High beam input from vehicle"
"Fog light input from vehicle"

If someone could shine some light on the locations for me I'll happily post up a review after.

Here's the headlight harness pinout for a '13 BRZ.

White = Turn signal +
Green = Boomerang LED +
Thin Black = Common Ground
Yellow = High beam +
Red = Low beam +
Thick Black = Low beam ground
Blue = High beam ground

You will need to tap your hi beam input connector into the YELLOW and BLUE wires.
As for the stock fogs, if you didn't have any, look at the fog installation howto to get the wiring details. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27581

Are those harness plugs not intended to plug directly into the factory plugs?

If you mean you have this harness: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/olm-...2013-ft86.html

Your BRZ has factory HID, you don't have the hi beam plug that this kit is for.
It's not going to be plug and play.

So I'm basically tapping in to the factory high beam wiring and running to the connector coming off of the rear of the foglights to control the mechanical flaps?

Where am I tapping in to the "fog light input from vehicle" as I'm not seeing a matching plug - or will that require custom wiring as well?

No, as it's meant for the FRS.
