To change the reverse lights, you just have to reach up the back side of the rear bumper. You will see the light bulb socket, just turn the socket and the bulb comes out.

PM us if you are interested in our super white reverse LEDs for your FR-S.

Many thanks!

Glad you like the LED conversion for your interior and exterior. Definitely makes your BRZ sharper at night. Thanks for the complements! =)

what about making the Triangle the reverse light and tint the clear reverse lights red to use as the rear foglight.. ?? I would think you would have to make the triangle clear.. but with the two sides red.. i would think it would be better visibility wise in bad weather.. any thoughts??

I live in Hudson Valley.. and all the roads are so freakin dark here.. I think it would definately make the car more visible in the rain/snow/fog..

To make the red triangle housing to clear lens will be very difficult. This is because the light housing is made with red plastic and clear plastic. I can see how tinting the clear lens red or even putting in red-coloured LEDs a viable solution, but then the red lens cannot be converted to clear (opaque).

I have a very bright LED for the reverse light and I can PM you with more details. It basically lights up the ground and the rear end area very well. Because the BRZ/FR-S has the reverse lights mounted low to the ground, it is highly recommended to get the brightest LED reverse lights possible to see better at night, especially when it rains and you are in a poorly-lit parkade or back lane.

Please check your PM. =)

That's True, it would go with the red stripes and console lighting!
