Yeah I know they don't give any large light output at night, I just think they look sexy. The LEDs on my Lexus work this way, very elegant looking at night.



From doing my searching and research on this forum and elsewhere, it appears as though Australia & South Africa have the DRLs disable at night when headlights come on, but UK they stay on. The South Africans have been discussing how to get dealer to turn them on, but no word on actual fix yet. There must be an ECU setting as I doubt they would have separate parts for UK, Aus, SA, and now USDM.

My ship arrived 16 hours early and is discharging now. It'll be touch and go whether the vehicle processors get enough notice to PIO foggies, fingers crossed.

At this rate I could be an owner by the weekend.

I have been following this thread (like many others) it seems and now I have gotten into this obsessive mode of refreshing this page to see the latest post and hopefully other member's new cars!

Really looking forward to mine. As a Canadian I got the bad news the other day that we are getting the base head unit with only the Pioneer as a $500 adder. Really stupid how we pay more for less. I'm hoping that we can get the fog light option though!

Sad how obsessed we are over all of this when all we REALLY want is a GT86.

Congrats to the new owners! Eagerly waiting for mine...

Zero luck at Cabe Toyota today. I had to inform them that the car had even arrived the previous night. With the service department closed, they couldn't do PDI. Since the guy I have been dealing with is Mr. young big shot and can't be bothered to come in on the weekend, they would not even let me take care of the paperwork today.

I was just going to take the car bone stock today, and get the parts installed at a later date, but even that seems to be an issue. Apparently, this guy needs all the parts to go on the bill of sale with the car, and nobody else can handle the paperwork, or else it might impact his commission.

I don't know when my work schedule will afford me the chance to actually take the car at this point.

I generally hate any type of silver car, but I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the 10 in person.

I was all set on going to a WR Blue BRZ too until the Series 10 has stopped me. I'm also awaiting a delivery... though in late July.

More than a year has passed since I was tracking this site, and after a failed attempt at a BRZ last year, no more waiting.

I'd say 10 series actually does look better and special, imo.
