where's the aftermarket headlights?
 
So there's plenty of aftermarket tail lights out there now but where's the love for the headlights? if someone made a simple plug and play direct swap for the frs at a fair price that looked a bit nicer like the EDM ones, they'd be selling like crazy.

There is alot of testing and liability in headlights, they have to have significantly better optics than tail lights and they are more closely policed than tail-lights as far as compliance to local regulations (DOT TUV whatever)

You can order all of the OEM lights from Japanese manufactures and TYC actually has them for sale right now. Looks like 400ish after shipping. Look on JapanParts.com

I don't see them anymore... They had them and all the TRD super expensive parts like brakes. The headlights were ~400 a piece. Only thing I see now is Evasivemotorsports and nigelparts. I have heard of someone ordering the lights from their local dealership though. Not 100% on where though.

Screw aftermarket headlights. Euro/JDM spec headlights are freakin amazing.

i do like the look of the euro headlights but not for some ridiculous price and having to rewire the things. If someone was to clone them and make them a direct swap, i'd be real interested.

glad to see the community taking safety and other drivers comfort into account and not going full rice....

Oh wait...NVM

Cheap is best right?

Oh? And how, good sir, do you think this could be accomplished?

simple.. make headlights that look the same or similar or even completely different but looks nicer and use the stock fr-s connectors. there's aftermarket headlights for hundreds of other cars that accomplish this and for real low prices, sometimes in the $200 range for the set.

Go for it. Instead of sitting and whining, make it. Then sell the design to a company and have them reverse engineer your bastard headlights.

glad to see everyone's so full of useful comments today.
