I know great projectors like the S2000 run ~$400 for the pair (not saying these will be as good). But say decent projectors will run like $250-300 maybe? Bulbs will be $100/pair. Harness kit will probably be $30. Hopefully Longhorn jumps in cause I know he has some experience with this. |

Not many looked very good in the end and most just turned out plain fugly. I'd rather have something done right from the factory when it comes to these things, but that's just me.

Might as well get it from the factory or OEM. I assume the JDM lights will be $$$. Probably eat up all of that $1300 difference rather quickly and most likely more on top of that.

Whats not to say you can't order the Toyota HIDs. I'm sure we can get a GB for these which will probably be less than BRZ HID if you bought it along with the package.
