Morimoto XB LED fog lights on 2017 BRZ
So being new to the BRZ I’ve been doing a lot of digging on what parts fit on the 2017 BRZ. I am about to order the Morimoto XB led fog lights but I see 3 different ones, SCION FR-S, Subaru Morimoto and Subaru GR WRX on the theretrofitsource.com website.
Can someone confirm if these fit the 2017 bumper: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/as...to-xb-led.html Also, will I need any screw clips or mounting brackets for the fog lights? |

Those will not fit on the 2017+ models. I have the Morimoto XB LED foglights on my 2016, and they have a 4 bolt hole/bracket design as opposed to a 3 bolt hole/bracket design of the 2017+ BRZ and 86.
You will need something like these for your car: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/suba...l#.WlKZDN-nHSE |

Thank you guys, I have purchased the Winjet kit. I did not want to dish out so much money on fog lamps. I really had my heart set on the Morimoto XBs but i guess ill have to wait until TRS makes them with the correct bracket.

Honestly I wouldn't get them due to how that plastic covers the foglight lens with the morimotos in particular. Here's what they look like on my 2016 BRZ. I like how the lens housing is black which matches my new headlights. Don't have a pic on hand with the new headlight beam pattern, but it is not as good as stock. The stock ones were really nice. The stock ones didn't have sequential indicators though

My opinion/experience is that foglights on a car with projector headlights are decorative. The stock bixenon projectors that came with BRZs are outstanding. I didn't realize how great they were until I replaced them with the Intec ones. The Subaru ones spread light very wide whereas the Intec ones concentrate them more in front of the car. In terms of practicality, Subaru's are better, but the Intecs are full led and have a sequential turn signal. When I replaced the foglights I realized that the stock ones were worse than a flashlight in addition to not matching the color of the stock headlights. I'm not wanting for additional light, moreso just to match the color of the foglights and headlights. They are much closer now. |
