I run the halos off the fuse box inside the engine bay, they work as DRLs, the top left most 15amp fuse is where I use a Add a fuse

Yes the demon eyes are wired to a switch, they are independent to the halos.

I use alpina led strips.. They can be sourced at many locations, but I think autozone is the most common.. I'm in the process of ordering 5 meter strips direct from them

You cant really tell from the front but I wonder if it looks a bit strange from an angle.

I will draw a terrible diagram to visualize my question. Front of the car is >

are they like:

or are they like:

Well kinda.. The shrouds don't move, the projectors actually move up and down and side to side to aim them.. So looking on the top the are like the bottom picture.. Looking from the side they are not perfect as the lights are aimed and sit different from the shroud.. Not by much.. It does look really off looking at them..me very one I've done does, but aimed up on a wall they are perfect

How much would it be to do this? My headlights are already blacked out, so I could definitely use at least the inner set of projectors to boost my light output.

Would you mind PMing me a quote, with and without the demon eyes? I love the quad halos and the mini projectors.

That's not bad! I'll just swap my BRZ headlights for FR-S headlights + $1000, then pay $200 out of pocket for this setup.

I've been looking for BRZ lights.. I wanna do a swap lol.. I love the BRZ lights over the JDM GT86 lights..

Personally I don't think it's a bad deal.. But it's something the owner really really has to want.. But the light output on bright is insane..

I can't wait for my new setup.. It's going to be insane.. At least as far as light output from a single projector

sweet!
@Gixxersixxerman, how difficult was it to get the matchbox projectors and the low beam projectors to line up(if the lights are on/you're facing a wall?)

Or is there separate adjustments for low beam/highbeam locations?

No freaking separate adjuster there should be make my job much easier.. There are a couple ways I've come to try, the easiest and not the best way, is to have them on and add spacers to the bottom of the main projector mount.. The problem with this is, the morimoto kit already "raises" the projector higher and then this makes it worse.. So when you adjusting the lights the main will make contact with the shroud, it'll start to move it up, but then your matchbox starts to tweak.. The proper way, is to keep adjusting the "cut" on the high beam reflector bulb mount until you get the angle you need when you tighten it down.. I'm sure spacers, shims or what not would work also.. But when I cut the piece I have it tilted slightly upwards for a easier time to aim the cut off properly.. Now if your going to use the matchbox as a high beam only, I take the flap out and just make sure it's aimed close with the hottest spot of the bulb.. In this case it took me about four hours to get the cut offs just perfect as he wanted all four on as low beams and the bixenon hooked up

Done similar, but to my tC, and with the halos half-masked

http://retrosmiths.com/img/tc/demon_eyes/1.jpg

And just a single pair for my FRS

I used SMD LEDs instead of shoving a strip in there, and bare CCFLs for thinner halo lines.
