BRZ Headlight Question
 

Hello all! I'm new to the forums and have recently purchased a 2017 BRZ from an auction and I'm fixing it up and plan on keeping it for as long as possible. So I have the the left headlight but the right headlight doesn't have the bracket or housing. I have the actual headlight but need the black housing with all the wiring and everything. My local dealer quotes me $850 for one headlight assembly so thats my last resort. I know 2017 had a design change so I was wondering can I just buy a previous gen BRZ (2013-2016) headlight and use the housing on that or will it not work properly? I can't find any used parts for 2017 and up and if I do, its been damaged too much. Thanks for any advice.

As long as the electronics are intact and such. I'm pretty sure any aftermarket bracket or housing that fits the BR-Z will help you as well. I'm thinking finding a used aftermarket spyder, winjet headlight for the brz or the like and removing parts from it to install on another. I think the only difference in the internals. This is because I've seen people put the 2017 headlights on the 2016s

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Theres this guy thats selling a set of headlights from his 2014 BRZ I believe for $200. I don't want to buy it and then have it not fit or work so I just want to double check or see if theres any other alternatives.

$200 is very cheap, probably cheaper than an aftermarket alternative. I'm also not sure how different the connectors are or electrical stuff is if permanent. Might be a full assembly and maybe best to just bite the bullet from subaru.

Thanks for the advice. Im going to go look at it tomorrow at the body shop to see what i can do
