2017 Headlights and Bumper on '13-'16 BRZ Conversion
 
I have yet to come across a thread about this. Has anyone done the 2017 BRZ front bumper + headlights to the 2013-2016 generation of the BRZ or plan to?

Thanks

They aren't out yet.

But they did use '16s with the '17 parts for demo models.

Yes both Toyota and Subaru have done the conversation.

Damn non-disclosure agreements.

all that work for a conversion just trade your old BRZ for the new one and get Brembos for only 3k extra

Was the conversion plug and play or was there new wiring involved?

Based on the write up everything is plug and play except for the wiring.

I did as well. Mine had quite a few fitment issues.

The L on the back means it goes on the left. Vehicle left, not your left.

It just seemed like the 17 bumper and lights were more round and sleek, my 16 bumper and lights were sort of boxy.

ryoma 06-06-2016 07:08 PM
how much were the bumper and head lights? looks like the bumper won't work with the '15 head lights and vice versa

I'm just hoping that with the release of the new styling, the 1st gen headlights will get a little cheaper..Still have a hard time wrapping my head around $950 per headlight - and that's just for the assembly!

Same @Brayden_23

Now they won't make them anymore so they will go up in price.

Don't tell me that! I can dream, can't I?

Digging up this thread because I too am interested in retrofitting the new lights in my '16 BRZ.

Only concern is any wiring issues

New BRZ to old BRZ should be a straight swap. The wiring issue is going from BRZ to old FRS which had the signals in a different spot.

How did I miss this before/
Ya your 16 headlights do look different from the 17s.

In case anyone missed it, you can already buy the 2017 tail lights, and they seem to be a straight swap: http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/toyo...-s-brz-86.html

Haven't seen the headlights available though, but I'm interested though.

Are the $950 per headlight the price for the old headlights or the new headlights? Btw, I have a set of 2013 BRZ OEM headlights that I am trying to get rid of. PM me if you're interested.

I don't think the wiring will be a straight swap for new BRZ to old BRZ either because the DRLs on the old BRZs were a completely separate lamp while AFAICT, the DRLs on the new BRZs are now part of the headlamps.

13' FR-S is still the best front end of any twin, to date, that would be the ideal swap. The GT86 (17') is just hideous.

You are correct! I somehow had this completely backwards since the FRS lights were part of the headlights and the BRZ was separate.

That is the price for the '13-'16 monogram/RS style headlight. I have already pulled the trigger on the headlights and am loving them. GLWS
