Light Upgrades?

I am looking to upgrade my lights and I'm doubting of what is the best choice. Someone suggested me using HID lights is better than the others. He gave me this site xenonpro for me to buy. Has someone have other suggestions which you think is better?

Imo a great option is to find some oem BRZ headlights. They're excellent headlights. Really just go to subispeed or 86speed and choose a light kit. Or better yet: contact customer service. They're much more knowledgeable than the vast majority of people on this site. I've contacted both of them with pretty good advice. The only time I was led astray was when someone claimed that installing the Intec headlights on a 2016 BRZ would be plug and play. It is not

They don't seem to fit all that well.

that black point they are pointing to is there on the brz as well... it should be dark black, but the plastic fades.

They fit fine. That's not an issue that will negatively affect lifespan of the product in anyway. Also as far as I know aftermarket headlights are made to fit both the frs and brz so I think you're going to have that issue regardless. Perhaps you should just get an HID conversion kit
