Obviously I don't really know. It just makes more sense for it to be the same since they're coming off the same assembly line, and they've shared every other color except for the brand unique ones. It's an educated guess rather than thinking a name means anything. WR Blue is a perfect example of this.

They're pretty good on the Corolla, but they still lack the width of HID. LED does consume less power though...

If that's the case, that confirms that they're 100% bolt in and compatible. Here's hoping it gets rid of the crickets.

Amazing how far LED technology has become, a palm size flashlight now can output like 1000 lumens.

Head with LED's could take up an entire thread, but they generate less heat for their equivalent output because they're more efficient. (Their efficacy is also better usually, and efficacy has been coming up over the years). BUT, the components can't handle their own heat, so a thermal solution has to be found to remove the heat from the diode. So it's a little bit of both, they output less heat for the light output, but they have to have a thermal solution to deal with the heat or they'll fail.

So I Google FA20:

"The FA20D features both direct and port injection (Toyota's D-4S injection system) and Subaru AVCS variable valve timing system. It is used in the Subaru BRZ, and is identified by a Toyota engine family code known as the 4U-GSE, which is installed in the Toyota 86 and the Scion FR-S.[7] According to Subaru, 0W-20 oil is recommended."

and under that:

"FA20F: A version with Subaru's own direct fuel injection and twin-scroll turbocharger was introduced in 2012.

Displacement: 1,998 cc
Bore: 86 mm
Stroke: 86 mm
Compression Ratio: 10.6:1"

So the 86 uses Toyota's DFI system, even in the BRZ, but the F model uses Subaru's DFI system, and it's supercharged? Is it basically the same engine? Curious how this affected the new 86 version.

Curious as well as the FA20 in the WRX is a bit beefier than ours.

They have quite a lot more sound damping material in them, as well as a few added braces.
