FR-S headlight work! *PICS*! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

paperboy42190 · 12-17-2012, 02:34 PM

I worked on a set of FR-S headlights this past weekend Check out my work. Blackhousing with gloss black paint, and the morimoto xB LED angel eyes. IMO, these are the best halos on the market. The photos don't come anywhere close to showing how bright these are. Here's a link if you aren't familiar with these halos: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/pro...ducts_id=14906

Edit:

Any night shots?

Bro, I got a question, did you pop the pop rivets on the clear marker or did you take out the clear marker completely to get the bumper off.
I'm trying to take mine off with just popping the rivet and the bumper doesn't seem to want to come off (btw it has been done this way) . How much force was required to pull the bumper off ??

Thank you in advance

Liking the way this looks on our cars very much so, nicely done man

Thanks for all the kind words guys

The halo was indeed 80mm, I think 90mm may work too and it would probably sit on a different edge, but it's just up to you which size you want to go with.

?? what do you mean by package? I included a link to the halos in my OP if that's what you mean? and night shots are hard to do on a camera phone :/

I took off the sidemarkers slightly to access the clip on top to remove the bumper. The sidemarker was tricky to remove the first time, but now that I know how it fits in, it's actually not bad at all. You just need to pull at it from the right angle and position and it'll pop out easily. The rest of the bumper was a piece of cake, couple bolts and clips where they should be and easily visible.
