Are there any aftermarket headlights for the BRZ? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just as the title states, I need to find some aftermarket headlights that have the exact same lens shape as the stock headlights.

All Headlights that fit the FRS/86 fit the BRZ. The only difference is the piece of weather stripping on the BRZ light that covers up the pointed tip of the light.

Guess I need to be a little more specific. Original post updated.

Do the current aftermarket lights not match up exactly? Or they have different curviture or something? I figured they would all be exactly the same?

Are you replacing your current ones? Just curious as to one would want to get rid of the factory HID's? I could see on the FRS but I'm really curious as to why on the BRZ.

*Intrigued* =)

If you haven't already, you should check out his build thread. Dude's a wizard with lighting and he's probably got something nasty up his sleeves.

I'd be more concerned about how the BRZ headlamps incorporate the turn signal versus most aftermarket 86/FRS direct replacement head lamps but I'm sure you already thought about that.

hmm that's a bit tougher. If it's just the lens you are concerned about try theretrofitsource.

I can't imagine a better combination than stock BR-Z headlights w/ Tom's taillights.. which you already have.

IDK why anyone would want to swap out the BRZ headlights.

I don't think he's switching out lights. I think he's looking for lenses to experiment with.

I swapped my brz headlights for the spyder headlights. I also had to make sure i received the brz version not the frs because of the 8 pin plug vs the 6 pin on the frs. With the spyder version i retained the hid from the oem headlights. With the Spyder's you keep all the hid and use it on the new housing.

See, IMO that looks 1000x worse than the stock headlights. The clean parking light lines and the solid turn signals of the OEM to aftermarket cheapy looking led strip style lights..

But, I guess if somebody just wants to change the headlights just to say that they changed the headlights..

Reminds me of when those dumb Altezza tail lights were popular with the ricers.

I need to replace just the lens on my stock headlights. I don't want to pay $1400 for a pair of OEM headlights.

you can scratch winjet covers off. they are extremely close but not exact.. i was going to switch for the oem cover on my winjet. but i saw someone posting up the oem frs lights for 150, and i know they will fit right on the brz and gt86 housings
