I have a contact w/ a lighting co. (if this sit will allow sponsorship) he has shown interest in supplying HID kits and other replacement lights/parts

I was thinking a dark housing lamp and upgraded projector lenses, and changing the "halo" color w/ led based bulbs (not sure if you are familiar w/ the Lexus Sport Design ) but that "color"

can you swap just the headlights or do you
need to swap the bumper too?

I hate the smiley face on the BRZ's bumper but the headlights
are better. I hope I can swap bumper without the need for headlights!

headlamps "should" be a direct swap (shape wise)

Any idea how good the WRX STI HID lights are? Just trying to get an idea of how good Subaru's HIDs are.

Changing the "halo" color would be cool. Would love the green of the 300GT car like my avatar pic.

I'm not terribly familiar w/ the HID light in the STI (I am sure it is decent like most modern lighting systems)

Yeah, I am sure that color wouldn't be hard (have to wait and see ) :happyanim:

:bellyroll:

Trying, it is looking like GT86 lamps may be done 1st at this rate, I have a more active contact there.

Their "led" strip is most likely smd leds all soldered together therefore not wanting to jack w/ them but will still do something to them.

For the BRZ there is no problem to change color. As the tube color is white like on new BMW's, I suppose it has a LED bulb. So you just need to change to LED for another color, yellow, red, orange, green, blue.


I am a perfectionist so I have alot of problems with any car. I like the headlights of the BRZ better, including the LED tube. The problem is that on both cars the taillight are the same are do not have a LED turbo like on the BRZ STI Concept, but have LED's, which goes well with front LED's of the 86. The BRZ in this case should have also gotten a LED tube on the taillights with a normal brake bulb deaper inside.

In fact I would also like LED blinkers front and back.

What you can do for the BRZ LED tube is fill it with a tiny LED stripe and blackeverything out. It looks awsome.

as soon as I get a bulb list solutions can be thought out ;)

That is not a LED strip on the halo

Since there is so much discussion and requests to have the BRZ lights on the FRS,
Can any of our resident PhotoShop experts create a PS of an FRS with the BRZ lights lit up? Would be cool to see.
Here is the link to the movie that has the BRZ LEDs lit up.

Rear Tail Lights
 
Is it possible to change the rear lights to something similar to the Scion concept using the production panels.

Sure anything is possible if you own a plastics molding business/cnc machines/tool and dye markers and a great body shop
