Winjet Headlights - Installed, Compared, and done up the FT-86 SpeedFactory Way!
 

You're right they do look awesome. :) I'm real pumped now to get my set. Can't wait!!

What does a set run us common folk..... ?

Subscribed for details to follow

Ordered mine earlier, $540 shipped with a diode dynamics HID kit. $450 by themselves

I'm not going to be buying a set since I have a BRZ but would you mind posting a pic of the cutoff line at night? That's my biggest concern for aftermarket headlamps.

I would totally jump on these if I did not have a BRZ!

So, no high beams?

I am kind of not digging the loss of the high beams, and the fact that the leds don't stay on with the headlights.

Well you could just flick on the high beams with the stalk and that would just turn on the LED strip along with the headlights. You're not going to get both LED's AND high beams in any headlights unless you do a bi-xenon retrofit.

These are "bixenon" style projectors.. Like all single projectors that are dot legal, they have a flap that moves out of the way. And the led in these kits are wired up with the high beam actuator, so actually, yes they do come on when the high beam is activated

In the pictures, the red and black wires are for the DRL led, the brown wires are for the high beam actuator , the white and black for the main bulb

Probably not great as it sounds like it's a halogen projector, not HID. These are FR-S headlamps with LEDs.

Sexxxxyyyy

Those look SIIIIIICK!!!! LOVE them.

Is the JDM headlight harness different for the 86's? I know the tail lights are. And if they are different will there be a plug n play version for us or will I be slicing wires?

Can't wait to get mine!

The guys saying your losing the hibeams, uh... they are h1's which are bixenon. Meaning there is a little door that flicks open when you engage your hibeam to release the cutoff.


I'll be ordering these soon enough

Please show a video with high beams on @ night. Thanks!

An H1 bulb is not an HID (bixenon) bulb, it's a single filament halogen bulb. With that being said though, aftermarket companies will offer an HID version of this bulb to fit the H1 socket.

Lets see the HID cut off.

Actually I believe it's an H7 bulb.

Check that thread.

For all those who are too lazy

Low Beam:

High Beam

I am wondering that can I use my current HID kit?

Or can I at least keep my current ballast? How?

If the bulb sizes aren't changing, it shouldn't be a problem.

New bulb size is h1. Current is h7. So yeah your gonna have to change it. You can keep the ballast tho

The diode dynamics kits we sell are confirmed to fit the OEM housing and also these Winjet ones so if you have a diode dynamics kit it fits both just fine.

The low-beam cutoff line isn't impressive at all, IMO. Will other people even care, probably not.

Any pics of the chrome yet?

Our site is always the best source.... but we have these. :)

BTW we had someone install these with the fog light kit we sell. It's the white wire you want for tapping on the fog lights. :) Simple and looking great!

How do you retain the LED strip (DRL) with the low beams? I know they come on with the high beam but how do you keep them for the low beam as well? Figured I'd ask instead of taking my DMM to them.

When installing the Winjet headlights do I need to disconnect the battery terminal before removing the bumper and installing?

Theres a thread about this. There needs to be a resister wired in.

Always good practice to disconnect the battery when doing any type of work.

Link?

Start searching I dont have it handy

Dang! I could've got a bigger discount! I ordered the Winjet/hid package from you guys last night and I just now saw the video. Horrible timing haha.

I want these lights. I'm just having a hard time deciding if I want to go with the chrome housing and get that GT86 OEM look or go with the smoked housing since it would look real nice with my Raven FR-S.
