im worried about the nasty gap you might get. the brz headlights are shorter than the frs/86. you can see the added seal and extension on the brz front bumper, it wont be there on the frs.

I am not a fan of the "led strips" that Toyota is using and has used in the GT86 or in the Lexus vehicles I like the Subaru LED optic fiber myself

led strips are already going out of style.
brz headlights is the direction the industry is moving - take a look at some of the newer bmw's, they look similar to this. not referring to the current angel eyes, but the laser lights. brz's may not be lasers, but they are still closer to that then paltry led strips. the only led's are going to be on things like the kia rio and soul and outdated is's amongst other cars that were too late to the party.

LED bars are outdated? LOL. Tell me what new Audi or Mercedes doesn't have them? it is only the beginning of LED. Wait other 7 years for lasers.

I'm fairly sure that the halo-ish lights around the BRZ projector housings is EL Wire (electroluminescent wire). It's designed to work best with 12 volt electrical systems, and in my experience gives the same look as what these have.

This is right I think, This is much cheaper to mass produce and to service than el wire

Yeah, and if that is the case it is hopefully a 194 bulb based system (I am trying to get a set of BRZ lights to customize) may settle for GT86 lamps

wait... so are the headlights a direct swap?
can you swap just the headlights or do you need to swap the bumper too? I hate the smiley face on the BRZ's bumper but the headlights are better. I hope I can swap bumper without the need for headlights! |
