I had blue LEDs swapped in my old Daily RSX and could see them perfectly fine. I have blue LEDs in my 240's gauges and can see them fine as well. And when I get my fr-s in 3 months, I'm swapping blue LEDs in those gauges too

1) Anecdotal evidence isn't evidence. What I stated is 100% factual science (I can post links if you really want, but it's as easy as googling the info)


2) Keep in mind all the lighting is SMD LED's meaning lots and LOTS of soldering. It's not as simple as swapping bulbs anymore.

New Hyper Blue BRZ

Hey Guys, Not sure if you heard a new BRZ color was just released. It is called Hyper Blue and to tell you the truth, this color is my Favorite hands down on the Bmw M3, Mustang, etc.
I bought the 2015 Limited Satin White about 3 months ago and just for the hell of it called my Buddy who owns Glanzman Subaru in PA where I bought it and he said, I could trade mine in straight up if I wanted that Color, But still dig my Satin White. I would have to see the Car to really see how it looks........What do u guys think of the color. Actually looks sharp on the WRX which they also changed !!!

Dude just three lines down in the thread list (at time of writing this). The title is even very clear as to the subject.

This Blue is MY favorite Color hands down on a lot of Cars, M3, Mustang GT, ETC, BUT not really digging it in the BRZ, I bought the 2015 SATIN WHITE LIMITED 3 months ago and the owner said I could trade mine in straight up if I wanted this Color, But my 3 sons who are 12, 9 and 6, said, Dad that Blue is Ugly as Shit. Keep your white one...hahahahahha.....I would have to see it, but it does look BAD ASS on that WRX.......The yellow is Bad Ass too. About time they are coming out with more colors..

He's made the same post now 3 times, in 3 threads, I hate this forum.

Also OP, your car is Crystal White, not Satin White, they changed that from '14 to '15.
