Can I order the GT86 headlights from Japan?
 
I have read that they didnt use the LED lights in the Scion to reduce cost in the U.S. Does anyone know if there are any sites in english that I can maybe order replacement headlights for the GT86 and install them in my FR-S?

RHD headlights from Japan will have an incorrect beam pattern for US roads and will shine into oncoming traffic. It would be cheaper and easier to retrofit HID projectors into your headlights AND you would get better and safer light output than you would using the JDM FR-S headlights.

Thanks robotvoice... I'll just have to wait a while and follow the other threads. Later

Cars here in the GCC are LEDs, and they are LHD


Can source that if u're interested :)

I'd also mention that the Euro-spec GT86 will have lights that shine in the correct direction if you had the money for those. Those are also discussed in the thread linked above.
