No idea yet, I'm still in the process of converting the lights to bi-xenon and tuning the beam pattern and shield. I'm just running these off my test bench.

I did a quick test with the FX-R's and Acura TL's, seems like they will fit with the proper mounting. Not an easy task, though.

Yup!




It wasn't a direct fit, but it was close enough to be an easy retrofit with a little Dremel action. I modified the projectors with a custom cutoff shield attached to a bi-xenon solenoid. The extra high beam doesn't hurt, especially when added to the HIRs that replaced the stock high beams. I'm still waiting on decent weather to get some pictures of the cutoff. Nice sharp cutoff with an awesome color band.

I mean like AP1 s2K, LS430, RX330s, TSX, etc.

You know.. the good stuff.

There is a guy in Australia that modifies the stock BRZ housing to fit S2000 projecters in there, he makes them look pretty wicked too, giving them red or green tinged eyes if you wish.

Not sure if he is doing this officially yet I've only seen his custom version in person once, but I do know he was doing it on request. I don't know this guy personally it was through the shop I get most of my work done on my cars.

Ugh why would you replace the BRZ bixenon projectors with single xenon units from a decade ago?
