Okay thanks, I wasn't sure if it was my fault for not researching enough or not. Appreciate the help!

Hey, I've got a set of Winjet headlights in my FRS. I'm thinking about doing halos, but have no idea on what size of halos to even look at for those headlights. Any idea without tearing them apart and measuring?

My oem driver side BRZ headlight has been flickering a ton lately. What exactly could be causing this? Could it be a bad relay?

Given you are driving a 2013 brz. The bulbs could be on their way out or it could be the oem d4s ballasts. Swap the bulbs from 1 side to the other. See if the problem persists in the same side. If so it’s the ballast

Whenever you get a free moment is fine, I'm not in a big rush right now.

it looks like you can use 1 of 3 sizes depending on how large you want the halo to appear or fit.

Hi there,

I'm new to the forum, sorry if this might be asked before.
I have a 2014 Scion FR-S Monogram series. When I purchased the car it came with OEM foglights and recently my driver side foglight got busted and was wondering which aftermarket foglight is closest to OEM quality? Found out that one OEM foglight from Toyota costs around $300, not sure if I want to spend that much..

Also I plan on switching out the bulbs to match my OEM HID headlamps, any suggestions on which bulbs to use without melting the foglight housing?

your best bet for performance is to replace the pair with LED ones from Morimoto for 180$ or from Baja Designs (if you want the best of the best) for like 250.

Otherwards ebay has a ton of used ones cheap. The brz and FRS use the same fog light housing so feel free to search for either.

If interested in either let me know, I can get you special pricing through them!

Thanks for the advice.

I'm thinking of going for the Morimoto foglights from ft86speedfactory.

Okay. So i have a rs 1.0. They dont have fog lights. I bought the winjet fog lights for the monogram/release 10 series. Because i wanted to have the oem factory cover with switch on it. All it comes with is everything except oem cover thing. If i buy one of them from 86speed.com will it fit my rs frs?

I would have gotten the normal one but where normally frs have an unused button next to the trunk lock button, the rs 1.0 uses the unused slot for moving up the headlights

This is such a pain for fog lights.
