You will need a 3/4" spade bit to drill the hole....might have to carve it out a bit more to get the switch in.....this part took me the longest to line up the switch with the yo speed plate.

You can choose whether you want 1 or 2 switches. Wiring is still the same.

Tips for the switch
The center pole is the switch....the positive from the LED strip solders there.
The copper colored pole is for the ground. (splice ground from cigarette lighter and ground from LED strip and attach/solder here)
The silver pole at the opposite end is for power. (splice positive from cigarette lighter and attach/solder here)

You should pre solder or attach leads (wires) to your switch before you start.

Hope this helps...at least a little.....feel free to PM if you have any questions.

Yes, in fact I bought a beatsonic antenna and changed my mind and put it on my wife's Impreza instead. It looks better on the Impreza than the FR-S, oddly enough. It was the FDA9 version.

An update on the OEM sharkfin... I just did a test fit. It's 100% plug and play from 2015 -> 2014/13, despite what your dealers say.

The reason they might tell you it's not compatible is because they updated the part numbers on the entire harness from the antenna leading to the HU. But the connectors are exactly the same.

Of course this is for FR-S only, I do not know if the same thing applies to the BRZ which has satellite radio.

Test fitting it first to make sure it works, then going to paint match it. Sucks for SWP owners, Halo is much darker.



Might write up a DIY if I'm not lazy.

Do you have the part number by chance?

If you referring to the shark fin park # I'd recommed just ordering from beat-sonic since it'll be cheaper. I work for a Toyota Dealership and even with my discount its high
