[Noob Question]Will you be able to swap BRZ and 86 headlights?
[Noob Question]
The BRZ has a better LED/DRL light in the head lights... I know the BRZ has the indcators in the head lights as well does this change the shape and length of them? [/Noob Question] Working BRZ lights. *I am aware no one has the car so we can't officially tell... |

Doesn't look like a direct swap to me. Just look closely at the shape of the headlights. I'm sure one of our Photoshop gurus could overlay them to prove it.

I must be retarded then because they look identical. The angle is slightly off but I'm sure they are swappable.

Don't think its directly swappable even if they are the same shape. The BRZ's turn signal in in the headlight assembly and the 86 is not.

Easy as pie (for an electrician like me) besides, I'm sure its just a plug and a wire, easily pulled (if theres enough clearance to reach your hand up from under the bumber and move the plug and wires up to attach to the headlight compartment, I doubt they'll use completely different harness plugs just for the turn signals so people can't swap headlights, to me they look the same shape, i'll try a little p-shopping/flip image and overlay to see when I get home...

they look like the same shape to me but mounting points might be different because of the different bumpers.

Maybe its just my eyes. The smaller part of the lights seem to have a bit different shape.

Look at the Subie bumper, There is a fill-up. I think the BRZ headlight is a bit shorter. If you want to swap headlight, you need to fill up that gap.
Edit: I think headlights the same length. There is only one way to swap, is to modify the bumper, which would be a lot of work for most people here.
