Don't forget removing the radio and other items to make it even lighter!

The protrusions. Housings without DRL don't have 'em. Those are the ones I want. Don't need fogs or DRL here.

Don't know if this is here or there....but, For what it's worth to anyone, the Fog lights in these cars are going to suck. I noticed in the Manual that the Bulbs are 24 watts as opposed to the usual 55watt. They're borderline likely to be decoration.

Im also of the opinion the foglights don't add much to the look of the front end on this particular car. The FR-S does better with fogs too.

I'm thinking on WRB, White or Black, it might work?

You thinking WRB? I've got a WRB '11 WRX with gold rims right now(love the combo), and i'm thinking if it's odd or not to do Gold AGAIN on a WRB BRZ.

Sorry to start talking about rims..lol
