There will be 2500, 10 Series owners

Early adopters (such as myself) want access to "superior" OEM integrated lighting, HVAC, and entry and starting systems. We feel that we're being unfairly denied access to these parts and connectively we are annoyed we were never given an opportunity to get them as an option or within a "trim" package. There are 22,000+, 2013 FR-S owners.

Put another way this is the "Haves" (the few) vs. the "Have Nots" (the many). This has never really been much of a rational thread; the reactions to this topic are deeply emotional.

For my part I spent $2000 to get some nifty headlights and to prove that I could do it and in the process got a reminder about human nature.

You hint no nerve with me sorry.


I guess I'm in the "haves" group of owners but wait a minute I have a whiteout FR-S also without the 10 Series special features.

I wanted the features so I purchased the 10 Series FR-S to be in the "haves" owners list.

So your not in the "haves" list of owners and got a dealer to sell you these parts I'm happy for you and hope you like being a fake 10 Series owner.

That had me LMAO..!!

Now let see these headlights should be called the "USDM/DLR headlights" and not JDM ones as there's no car in Japan with them as the japanese car's are wired to work different.
