For Anyone interested in Doing HID's the RIGHT way, i'll share some insight. I'm a Guru for stuff like this so i'll elaborate.

I can say i'm very hopeful for this car If the North American spec DOES have the H11 projectors. I'm Going to go out on a small limb and say they are the Halogen Projectors from EITHER the Toyota Camry OR Subaru IMPREZA. I can't verify which one until i see the bowl design.

(The "Lazy" hid install)
Either one is a VERY Decent Candidate for the "lazy" plug and play hid installs if you bend down the "squirrel finder". I don't condone plug and play kits though! so please don't flame me! But by plug and play standards they're a 9 out of 10 performance, you could do ALOT worse. Anyone concerned about blinding oncoming traffic, bending the "squirrel finder" gets rid of like 95% of that glare. which was already minimal.

Here's a pic of camry HALOGEN projectors w/ installed H11 HID (4300K) with properly modified Glare shield and New Lenses.

(The PROPER retrofit way, AKA swapping projectors)
-if they're IMPREZA projectors- It's tougher. "TheRetroFitSouce" make a decent D2S setup that MAY work

Or else you can find the 2006-2012 STI HID projectors and It's literally a Direct Bolt on. Possibly even the BRZ HID projectors could be the same model.

-if they're the Camry Projectors- This is what i'm hoping for! If they are, A lexus RX350 Projector swap could be a very simple fix to get amazing lighting. The RX350s are some of the best projectors available. The only variables are actual space INSIDE the headlight.

TRS ALSO make a kit for the Camry, so it SHOULD apply here too. I believe the projectors offered on the Camry Kit are alot better than the projectors they offer on the Impreza Fitment.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

My first mod to the FR-S is likely a retrofit..lol
