BRZ Parts Phase 1











The BRZ actually uses 7440 front and rear for the turn signals. They sent me 7443 for the front and 7440 for the rear.

Maybe a vacuum cleaner or telescoping magnet might help.

By the way, if you think those reverse led lights are too dim, try some 360 degree type LEDs instead.

The Red STI start button came in. I just have to install it....








Painters Tape is your friend!


Done! This was the easiest mod to do.

I followed these directions:

Pop the passenger side center stack lower cover (below the knee pad) off. Reach in from behind and pop the USB connector out (push forward). The next step is to unplug the connection and push the wiring back through the exposed hole. After that reach into the now vacant USB hole with your pointer finger and pull gently. It may require some tugging a bit, but it will eventually pop out. Just go slow and use some Painters tape to cover the area in front of the shifter.

Thanks Bugeyedwagon!

I am waiting for my clear corners to come in before I do the LED fogs, so I can do them both at the same time. Already got amber LEDs for the clear corners too. I found that there is one more regular bulb in the rear tail lights, rear side marker light. I will replace that with an LED too.

Yeah my hands need some lotion.

I got the rear CREE led backup light removed from the left housing after it fell in earlier this week.


I used this...a telescoping screw driver with a magnet on it. Went to my mums house and she had one, and it worked! It pulled right out very easily.


Bright CREE LED Backup lights.

I tried to install my Grimspeed gas hood struts, but I gave up. I could not get those black screws to go in. I did not want to strip it.
