Clips are all of a few dollars at best, nothing major. The BRZ headlights have turn signals in them so I mean, shouldn't be too big of an issue and then I could simply put fog light delete panels if I don't want fog lights but even then, that's only about $75 extra provided you look in the right places. Bumper pads are also pretty inexpensive as well, shouldn't be that big of an issue. Also, just purchased badges for about $55 so that's not a big deal to me.

Now, I do have one question: What do you mean by the removal of the headlight surroundings? Pictures or thread regarding this?

Search google for threads about converting FRS headlights to BRZ headlights. Should have pictures.

I think you understood me wrong then, I'm going from BRZ to FR-S, not the other way around?

No, I understood you.... nobody swaps from BRZ to FRS headlights though, so there wouldn't be pictures in a thread like that.....

Google is your friend. Several people have done this bumper swap, maybe you could find a thread that shows all the differences.

See I get that however I intend to keep my headlights, I'm simply switching out my bumper cover as everything else about the BRZ I enjoy.

Summerwolf · 03-31-2016, 12:14 PM

OMG..... See, the pictures of the headlight surrounds would be IN a thread like that.

Do research. Should be first four or five hits on that search. First one has part numbers. Took me 30 seconds. Quit asking for spoon fed info, enjoy your car, don't hackjob it.

I'm not trying to start a fight but you really don't listen. I have a BRZ, the only thing I'm switching for FR-S replacements are the bumper and badges. I'm not touching the headlights, they don't need to be touched. What's so hard about that concept?

JazzleSAURUS · 03-31-2016, 03:30 PM

Mine is an OEM.

They do need to be touched because of the surrounds!! You asked for pictures of said surrounds. I told you to search a thread showing headlight swapping because.... THEY WOULD HAVE PICS OF THE SURROUNDS.

AGAIN spoon feeding you information.

I know and what I've said is I already checked previously and nothing involves that. It doesn't apply in this scenario, what on earth are you on about?

Not exactly helpful? Are you saying you purchased a FR-S bumper from the dealer or?

This....the FRS doesn't use the headlight surrounds. You asked for pictures. I tried to help you. If you can't understand.....

I bought a used OEM one from a wreck partout. There was a bit of damage, a wrinkle in the tear duct, (if you pretend a headlight is an eye,) and a little bit of scuffing on one corner, but I just wanted a spare bumper cover to run in the winter so my stock bumper doesn't get messed up.

$50, if that helps give you perspective.

That's all that had to be said though, you didn't need to say anything else or be rude.

May look into that, the part I'm looking at is brand new (OEM) but almost $300.
