How are you guys fitting your manly hands in rear diffuser to even get to the bulbs?

I went through the side from the exhaust hole

is there a thread here that says all our bulb sizes?

Calidrifter · 07-26-2012, 10:18 PM

Installed almost everything just now.

Product: Solders are top notch and the car is really lit up well. Pictures do not do these bulbs justice.

Customer Service: I had forgotten to add another license plate bulb so I Pm'd him here and asked to add another one to my order. Bulb was added to the shipment without delaying the package. Shipped Tuesday package was received on Thursday.

The reverse lights are PITA, and the diffuser gave me nasty battle scars lol.

Don't know why everyone is having so many problems with reverse lights. I had the whole car changed out in less than 10 minutes

drtepper · 08-09-2012, 12:42 PM

I have a quick question:
How does the dome light handle the dimming effect on the BRZ? I've seen some cheaper LED kits in my day and they do a little strobe until they run out of voltage, which might be kind of annoying.

Do these manage to do like a tiered dim or do they just do a quick cut off.. or are they also affected by the strobe-to-off transition?

EvoXDD · 08-09-2012, 01:47 PM

I know for a fact there is no strobing. But haven't paid attention to if they fade out or not. Either way they make quality products and I can't wait till their turn signals come out!

nice write up! anything on headlights and daytime running lights yet?

EvoXDD · 08-09-2012, 04:53 PM

They have headlight and fog light kits for the brz, not sure about the frs. And I think
The DRL on the BRZ are fine so I have not looked into it. If you have and frs, I'm sure they have the bulb size to replace with LEDs.

jjdrivesajazz · 08-10-2012, 11:58 AM

the DRL and high beam bulb shares the same bulb, so when you replace the bulb with a LED bulb, you will lose the high beam function. The LED simply won't be bright enough.

If you're okay with losing the high beams, then you can consider putting in an LED bulb for the DRL. If you're not comfortable with them, the other alternative would be to replace the bulb with an aftermarket "pure white" halogen bulb.

Your talking about the frs right?
