Impossible to buy Monogram headlights from dealer?
 
Pretty soon I want to start upgrading my '13, have my eye on the touchscreen unit and the Monogram headlights, but will the parts department at dealers sell the Monogram headlights?

I don't want to take the loss and trade in for a Monogram but these 2 parts are probably over $2000. Das not it mane

Prepare for a fisting on the OEM l86/monogram lights. I'd say for a nice aftermarket set.

Winjets are a lot cheaper to buy ;)

Your FRS needs to have a monogram-specific vin number for them to order you monogram parts. I've heard of people just using the vin number of a monogram on the lot, but you have to be pretty buddy-buddy with the parts dept for that haha.

The monogram headlights are the same as the jap-spec and euro-spec headlights, so you can import them. Alternatively, there are aftermarket headlights that look very similar to the monogram ones.

Thanks for the info. I figured there may be checking of the VIN's.

Sigh, wish I waited for the Monogram -_-

Pretty sure the monogram lights will cost you an arm and probably a leg :(

Stay persistent and check the marketplace. I've seen GT86 headlights go up for sale often...Unless you just have to have that look then there is Winjet. Most won't notice the difference but if you're like me it's worth waiting for them to pop up and getting them. They are going for less as of late because the market has been flooded with aftermarket so there is also that plus...

Got it, do you need anything else besides these? Plug and play or do I need one of those harnesses?

You can either repin the stock harness or buy the PnP harnesses that @DeOppressorLiber makes (those are what I have in my car)

Not true, you just gotta look around the used market. I got my JDM headlights for almost a steal. :D
