I just saw these and was wondering the same. These look much better than the Valentis.

Wow those look good. Thanks to the price though they go near the end of the very long list of things I want.

I dont typically like any aftermarket look, but those headlines are awesome!

I'm on the fence about the drl shape, but I think they are growing on me.

These look suspiciously like the Intecs on my car right now

Yeah these look amazing af!

They use high quality parts too (Osram)
And there's a 5 year warranty!

I was considering converting my headlights to 2017 BRZ headlights but these headlights look like a great choice as well

I thought the same:

Huh, well these are $400 less...

I prefer the stock BRZ headlights, and the 17+ ones even more so, but those look sick on the FRS.

they look pretty sweet but i do still prefer the brz/spec boomerang style.. the price is also a turn off

the stock 17 brz headlights are really awesome. I just really wanted the sequential turn signal. the morimoto ones didn't exist when I made my purchase

FT86SF has similar tail light as these too now

looks like its a white label product that these companies buy and slap their own brand on.

Rebranded Intecs I'm betting. Meaning, Coplus is selling under the Morimoto and FT86SF labels now.

They may be rebranded products, but if Morimoto is willing to put their name on them, they must have really good optical performance.

I have them (intec) and imo you should ONLY get them for the sequential turn signal. The oem headlights had a better color for seeing at night and had a wider beam pattern. Also the intecs are full led whereas these are bixenon like the oem headlights. I really liked the oem headlights save the halogen turn signal

If someone in EU sells its 2017 BRZ headlights, please let me know...

I've been looking at the coplus/intec vs these morimoto units and at first I thought the same thing (rebadged units) The setup is identical, but I'm seeing a difference in the DRL strip as well as the actual projector. I may be wrong but these actually might be their own unit. Possibly a v2 of the intec? Maybe they had them tweak some things for their version? Either way I'm really interested in these.

These aren't bixenon, they're biLED.

As long as they're Bi, I'm interested.

Who doesn't like it when they go both ways

It seems like plastic molded pieces have been made available to other companies. FT86SF says theirs is based on Intec's but they did their own thing with the internals. It sounds like Morimoto did the same.

Damn these are lookin really nice

I prefer the look of the Spec-D LED bar imo.

+1. Also the price is more appealing

I pulled the trigger and order a set

SpecD's don't come with lights. That's why they're so cheap. You have to provide your own. From what info I've gathered their quality control is hit or miss. Haven't heard the same from Morimoto or Intec, at least with regards to headlights

Reasons why I haven't purchased any of these cheaper headlights. Too many stories of peeling/hazing within a year. Issues with the high beam actuators and subpar optics on projector.

to dispel any confusion, these are exactly the same as the intecs but they cost $600 less. damn I paid a $600 early adopter fee

These aren't the original intecs. These are a version 2.

This is off ft86speedfactory listing for the original intecs: / 86

except they look exactly alike. the drl bar, the projector/parabolic led headlight combo, sequential indicators, everything looks the same except the price

It is the same setup, but if you look at them closely there are differences. The projector is different, the DRL strip is also different, and these new ones are gloss black. They are not exactly the same, like I said they seem to be a second generation.

Also, the Morimoto uses a single projector instead of the stacked projectors both Intec and FT86SF use.

projector is the same. drl strip is the same. maybe look on a computer instead of your phone, but its the same. in the video its different but on subispeed's product page its stacked like before

no, they're stacked on subispeed's site. it could be they didn't bother to update the pictures, but their pictures don't line up with the video that started this thread

I see your obsessed in being correct. They are not the exact same lights as before.

Subispeed which has the old intec picture they haven't updated:

Now look at this video from ft86speedfactory which shows the new design that looks exactly like the morimoto video originally posted

I don't know what you are looking at, but I see different lights.

I already told you what I'm looking at and you confirmed: the pics on their site don't match the video. All you did was post a link to their site with out of date pictures that - in contrast with the description - showed there was no change other than the $600 price drop. Maybe you should have linked the video to be more clear

The link I put was to show the part where they wrote "discontinued, newer version available" that's why I copied and pasted the text above the link. The link I put was the listing for the original intecs as I stated in that post.

Aight so, I ordered the headlights from TRS with an original mid-June availability. I contacted them and they are saying September timeframe, even though their site says August. Now FT86SF is listing theirs "in stock". Kind of weird they've received batches of these lights and TRS is still waiting. Now on TRS YouTube video of the lights they say that theirs are morimoto branded. I guess morimoto sources their stuff from coplus? Anyone order theirs from FT86SF yet?

So I did some digging because this kind of supplier stuff gets me interested.

Apparently a proportion of their products are made by coplus in taiwan, but they are checking the quality and still offering their own in house warranty on everything so I guess you don't lose much

The second post I found seems like a fake/random irate dude on an F150 forum so it seems confusing:

But they are partially using coplus as a supplier it seems
