BRZ OEM rant
 
New owner here, a few things I wished my 2015 Limited came with stock. I wish I didn't have to figure out how to add it to my car.
1 Rear fog light stalk and rear light
2 Exhaust tips that extend beyond the rear fascia
3 Back up camera
4 Side marker lights that act as a blinker
:confused0068::iono:

I believe by law OEM's cannot do this in the US.

At least you're able to add all those things to the car.

All that can be done with some wiring, time, and about $100 bucks.

1 Rear fog light stalk and rear light Rear fogs not legal for OEM in US
2 Exhaust tips that extend beyond the rear fascia OEM with extended tips would fail crash tests in US (more damage value at lower speeds)
3 Back up camera Should have got a 16 FRS (not really sure why the BRZ didn't get them though)
4 Side marker lights that act as a blinker They don't? (Really I have never looked. May also be a regulatory thing)

I don't think rear fogs are illegal in the US, just not required. A lot of Audi's and Mercedes have rear fogs built into their taillights.

May be just an individual State thing then. There was a big thread on it once and I know at least a couple of guys quoted laws forbidding rear fogs.

You should probably just trade it in for a new Mustang..

Really? Thats odd. Maybe because they come with it built into the taillights and it isn't an additional light its ok.

It is a gray(grey?) area. It can't be used as a fog light(in California), but you can use it as a courtesy light or loading light like on trucks.

1. Cheap, easy, few hours of work
2. Most nations do not allow for this, laws yo
3. 20-30 bucks, figure it out or swivel your head
4. yeah, I wish it did this too, so I found a DIY on the forum and did it for less than $2....
