Hi everyone, I'm new here! I just Bought a BRZ, I hope my first post is useful as a DIY "Do-it-yourself" guide on how to wire the spec-d lights (boomerang style) into a BRZ.
So I have two crunched BRZ headlights, after doing some searching for a set, I found they are going for around $1500 new or $800 used.
I am not building a show car, I am building an off-road Rallycross car, plus I'm on a budget So I decided to look for alternative solutions at lower cost.
I decided to Buy the Spec-D lights for the Scion FRS they have the "Subaru Look" and can be had around $350-450 range. The only problem with this, is they come with a 6-pin harness plug. This will NOT allow plug-and play for the Subaru BRZ ( which has an 8-pin harness plug).
I also Didn't care about the HID lights at this point. I will wire those in later.
The Spec-D FRS headlights with the "boomerang" is what I ended up buying. They seem to be cast in similar dimensions to the BRZ headlamps and have the option of installing the level motor and the OEM HID ballasts.
Here is the wiring diagram notes I made for installation (if you want to know what everything does) I tested each wire to verify this, I did not look at any diagrams: (PS: Pin numbers are embossed on the actual plug in tiny print)
*LEFT-HAND HEADLIGHT!
*RIGHT-HAND HEADLIGHT (same pin order, some colors are different)
Spec-D *BOTH SIDES ARE SAME
This is the "Cheat sheet" for just matching colors from the BRZ factory headlight harness to the Spec-D Headlight harness colors to make everything work just like stock.
This is what the re-pinned/spliced Spec-D connector should look like on both sides (modified the existing 8-pin OEM BRZ headlight harness plug)
