Man I love the Stock BRZ, Can I fit those into the '16 FRS?

Now on terms of quality and reliability, I'm sure those listed on here should be good for the headlights correct?

Don't quote me on this lol but I think the harness has to be repined. As the stock FR-S is 6 pin and BRZ is 8 pin.

Ah okay, that might be possible.

But those darn headlights are going for $700 each (Not pairs) on the Subaru Parts website -___-

Yea same thing with the JDM Headlights. They are about $700+ per headlight. I personally wouldn't spend $1400+ on headlights as it would go towards F.I.

Aren't they usually sold in pair at certain website for around $300-$800 depending on the brands anyways? Don't want to pay $700 for a left and another $700 for the right lol.

I think Winjets are the best overall. They are basically the same as the Monogram ones but slightly less bright. Which means (with some modificaiton) you can use them at night with your HIDs on without blinding the hell out of everyone.

IMO BRZ is too dim and monogram is way too bright for night use (though it looks better in daylight).

I'm biased to the winjet blacks, because it looks pretty OEM when installed that's the only reason I got them:

in all seriousness though, im probably the only one (or very very few), but i actually like the look of yellow halogen reflector DRL's and high-beams.
Did you just use a yellow bulb to get the look or what?
