Yeah, i was certain mine was and somewhat depressed, because to replace these with OEM lights is big $$$$.

But they look awesome now! Plast-x is awesome.

Same as I and Decep thought about ours. Once you plast-x them up, you'll probably find it was all on the exterior.

I picked up a bottle of Plastx today, and 5 minutes later my headlights look good as new! I'm so stoked.

Plastx smells like toilet bowl cleaner, but it sure is easy and has awesome results!

like we mentioned above, you might want to top them with some decent wax too for UV protection.

Hey Guys,

A few weeks ago I just got my 10 series and the front emblem lights up, but the rear one does not!

I looked through the wiring diagram and reseated all of the rear connector harnesses and now NEITHER light up!

Any advice? Thanks!

Speaking of the emblems, does anyone know how much a used front one would sell for?

Sadly these emblems are very fragile and can short out pretty easy. You could try going to a Toyota dealer and asking if they have any technical info on them, but from what I've heard, once they go out that's it. Even worse is the one on the dashboard.

$750 for the set from the dealer. I asked when I bought it. I’d sell you mine. I want to switch to Toyota.

Are you going to have the additional hole shaved for the Toyota emblem?

SUp fam! I grew up in Albany. I wanna do the tommy kaira light up Toyota ones I posted in here but I’d just put a backing on the Toyota one to cover the hole if I went that route.

Looking at the first post, how many of us still have our 10 Series?


BTW- the two things that would've made this car better (at the time): heated seats and make it 2014 instead of 2013 (like the 10 Series tC).

I'd take a heated steering wheel over seats personally

Heated steering wheel?!?! Until the Toyota 86 we didn't even have buttons on the steering wheel (which the BRZ did better)!
