Introducing Agency Power Carbon Fiber Brake Ducts with DRL LED Lights

Keep your brakes cool and bright with this kit just released from Agency Power.

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/w...-frs-650-3.jpg

Agency Power manufactures high-end aftermarket products for a variety of vehicles. Looking to give the Scion FR-S or Toyota GT-86 owners a functional, yet stylish look to their vehicle, we have developed these carbon fiber brake ducts with LED daytime running lights. The look of the carbon fiber replaces a boring, non-functioning feature of the car with a sleek new, aggressive look. The carbon fiber duct is integrated into the light and features a funnel shape that allows airflow to enter and if desired, use brake ducting to cool the brake calipers. The new DRL features a dual LED so when you activate your turn signal, it switches from a bright white to a flashing orange.

The installation is very simple tapping into the existing marker light and running a switch power wire so you get to have true daytime running lights. These kits are sold as a pair of left and right lights and include the power boxes with wiring. Agency Power does offer a limited lifetime warranty on products. The DRL kits carry a 90 warranty against LED failure.

Aluminum molds = $$$

Nice. So, just plug into the DRL circuit? I'd imagine you'd want to kill the DRL halogens but still need the brights.

Gen 03-13-2013 12:16 PM

I like it but not feeling how the leds look when off.

Freeman 03-13-2013 12:27 PM

Not bad. I'd really like if they came paint matched. Either way, they look good and I'll probably pick up a set

abutterman 03-13-2013 12:45 PM

if that could be a replacement for turn signals and could accommodate the fogs i'd be in

boredom.is.me 03-13-2013 01:25 PM

The LEDs just do not look good off. The stock turn signal lamp looks way better.

_hollywood 03-13-2013 03:02 PM

Off to a great start, i would only recommend a smoked lens on the leds, would help it blend in when off and it would have little to no effect on the led light output....

great job guys!!!

Trashed675 03-13-2013 03:15 PM

Maybe some light tinting to the lens would make it look a little more seamless, as is, the LEDs need a little bit of a redesign.

boredom.is.me 03-13-2013 04:07 PM

Here's what the "issue" is. It looks like reflector plastic which looks like crap.

If it was completely clear like the stock, it would be fine.

Match the Carbon Fiber color to the colors offered by Scibaru and smoke the lenses and I'll be one of the first in line. :thumbsup:

AZFA20 03-13-2013 07:00 PM

The Carbon portion looks really good but as others have said I am not a fan of the light. If these could be made to just integrate the factory light I feel it would look better. It's tough to say though to be honest without seeing them on the vehicle. They may not look as out of place when installed. I just prefer the factory light assembly myself but would love to have the ducting ability to the brakes.

djliquidsteele 03-13-2013 08:34 PM

Agree with the others. Either paint match the carbon or smoke the lenses to closer match the dark carbon color.

vividracing 03-13-2013 08:41 PM

Thanks for the input, honestly didn't think I would have so many people prefer painted parts to Carbon Fiber but I will pass it on.
