I'm just running a plug-and-play kit from Diode Dynamics. Really good quality and amazing customer service.

A lot of people shoot down plug-and-play kits because of the glare they cause, and while it is true, it really isn't that bad on our cars. Our cars are so low right from the factory, that the glare doesn't even blind anyone. I've driven in a different car with someone driving my car behind me, and there is no glare, even when the other driver is in a small car. Where I live, most people have trucks or SUVs so glare is even less of a concern.

Hey aside from topic how the hell are you getting 9litres per 100km , how do you drive gears? I've just starting the second quarter tank and have only done 60km.

So what are you getting in terms of L/100 km? I can do about 500 km per tank if I really wanted to. My highest so far is 475 km on one tank but that's because I'm always revving really high.

I'm getting nothing , i'm really annoyed, liek I told you on my first tank i've reached the last quarter tank and done only 140km with 32liters.
Then on my second fill up (i've refilled 32liters) , with the first quarter tank i've only done 60km.

How hard are you guys driving all the time? I don't drive mine like a grandma, and my average is 8L/100km in the winter, and about 7.6L/100km in the summer. It's a rare occasion when I don't get 550km+ out of a full tank.

As for HID's in the stock housings, I've seen worse glare from cars that have HID's stock than my plug and play kit has.

If you want good LED headlights, I would try to get some headlight from a salvaged 2014 corolla. They have LED low beams in a projector, so it should be relatively "easy" to swap the internal to the FR-S' headlight. However, HID is still brighter.

Something is REALLY REALLY wrong with your car if you're doing less than 200km on a tank. Your car is acting like you're driving at 7400 rpm's 100% of the time. Time to take it into the dealership. Seriously.

I agree very little glare if any.

If you're just dropping in the builds and not taking care of the squirrel finders...no, just no.

I ordered my 50W H11 led headlights about two weeks ago and didn't get it till just now from China. Finally got it. Installed it just hours ago. Basically this replaces the H11 halogen bulb with a H11 CREE LED that is 50w of actual LED power. Its basically two 25w CREE LEDs on each side of the bulb. It uses a driver (the flat module) to drive the LED and also power the small fan on the back for the heatsink. It claims its 1800 Lumens of light, I want to say yes I agree to it.
