Impossible to buy Monogram headlights from dealer?
 
Pretty soon I want to start upgrading my '13, have my eye on the touchscreen unit and the Monogram headlights, but will the parts department at dealers sell the Monogram headlights?

I don't want to take the loss and trade in for a Monogram but these 2 parts are probably over $2000. Das not it mane

Prepare for a fisting on the OEM l86/monogram lights. I'd say for a nice aftermarket set.

Mad1723 08-27-2014 10:54 AM

Winjets are a lot cheaper to buy ;)

Your FRS needs to have a monogram-specific vin number for them to order you monogram parts. I've heard of people just using the vin number of a monogram on the lot, but you have to be pretty buddy-buddy with the parts dept for that haha.

The monogram headlights are the same as the jap-spec and euro-spec headlights, so you can import them. Alternatively, there are aftermarket headlights that look very similar to the monogram ones.

Thanks for the info. I figured there may be checking of the VIN's.

Sigh, wish I waited for the Monogram -_-

Pretty sure the monogram lights will cost you an arm and probably a leg :(

Stay persistent and check the marketplace. I've seen GT86 headlights go up for sale often...Unless you just have to have that look then there is Winjet. Most won't notice the difference but if you're like me it's worth waiting for them to pop up and getting them. They are going for less as of late because the market has been flooded with aftermarket so there is also that plus...

Got it, do you need anything else besides these? Plug and play or do I need one of those harnesses?

You can either repin the stock harness or buy the PnP harnesses that @DeOppressorLiber makes (those are what I have in my car)

Not true, you just gotta look around the used market. I got my JDM headlights for almost a steal. :D

No problem man

i was once very into the whole LED thing... until i realized they arent so special anymore as every car now has it. some of the most basic economy cars have LEDs these days.

Best option, especially if somebody backs into your car and cracks one of your oem headlights in the first month of ownership, I got paid to switch to winjets.

Do you guys know if these Monogram/10 Series headlights are compatible with the base 2015 FRS?

As you are new I will show some restraint in my answer!
Short answer is YES.
The info you want is already provided in about a 100 places here. Don't have to go far as post #10 on this thread alone tells you a link.

LANI86 09-18-2014 03:22 PM

Honestly, I couldn't find the answer, but thanks anyway...I'm learning. No means to
intrude anybody.

DeOppressorLiber - I've messaged you about your custom harnesses. Seriously interested.

I think you PM'd me with some questions and I typed out a long response but for some reason it wouldn't let me send a PM back to you or anything. Maybe your post count isn't high enough yet.

Just a heads up that there are guys that will rip you to shreds for not trying to find the info first before asking such a simple question. Not saying it is reasonable, fair or anything else good, just, it happens (believe me I KNOW).

HyperTech 09-18-2014 05:20 PM

you really need to chill out.

Veloist 09-18-2014 05:55 PM

Winjets scream "I'm too cheap for OEM"

They also scream "I'm smart because I saved money"

They also scream "I should've waited for the monogram series"

Just kidding... They look alright. I wouldn't get them for myself but a lot of people are happy with them and that's what really matters.

Thank you, but did a little more research afterwards and found out these
are indeed compatible with 2015 FRS.

Now I just need that "Plug 'N' Play" harness that you were talking about.
I haven't heard from the gentleman yet.

LANI86 09-19-2014 11:43 AM

Thank you STV3. Yea, now I just need that Plug N Play harness DeOppressor makes.
I can't seem to get a hold him/her yet.

LANI86 09-19-2014 11:45 AM

Thank you STV3, just waiting on a response from DeOppressor now

LANI86 09-19-2014 03:12 PM

Thank you STV3. Yea, unfortunately your reply did not come through.
I'm trying to reach out to Deoppressor, but no word from the person yet.

LANI86 09-20-2014 03:30 AM

Anyone willing to message me DeOppressor's contact info? Apparently he hasn't been
around the forum for awhile now but I'm in need of his harnesses

sorry, but my understanding of the English language and difficult for me, because this is not my mother tongue.
