It looks like he will be putting in a high/low hid bulb in the projector? Not sure tho.

Well, if he did, that would make more sense...but since its a projector, its set up for low beams in this case, correct? It wouldn't have the same effect as a high beam

Try doing the rears to get an effect like this!

Taillights are often fused together instead of just sealed. Not entirely sure why. But to crack them open and paint them, you often have to Dremel them apart. I did it to my STI tails, but I'd want a junked or broken assembly to experiment on first before I do it to my BRZ.

It does need it though.. :P
