2017 brz Fog light bulb change possible??? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I want to change my OEM LED foglights to a yellow bulb but I'm not sure how to remove the OEM bulb. Would I need to buy a whole new casing?

No, its easy. Lift front of car- use jack stands. remove plastic clips for plastic guards under the car. You will see back of casing. I forgot how it opens, but I googled it and it was easy. Maybe 30 min to do both. A little longer if you are not an experienced wrench. I went yellow LED as well - they look pretty good. Not as good as yellow film, but then the glass is yellow all the time.

My bad, totally missed 2017. Mine is a 2016. So much for reading.

Do the film, the yellow is the best. Only issue is its yellow all day as well. it looks best with black, it looks ok on my silver WRX.

Can you post a link to the yellow leds?

Here's a picture of the back. I'm not sure what I should do and I also bought the LEDs (2504/PSX24W) from Allah lighting from Amazon.

The Amazon LEDs don't even look like they fit, or maybe I would have to shave some of the clips off...

almost positive the leds are soldered in (see: permanent)

2017's come with LED fog light assemblies. If you want yellow, use yellow film to get the look.

Is it really easy to install the film?

I've got a WRB and I like the blue with yellow look.

Yes, it's really easy.

Also, there's no "bulbs". It's a single sealed unit.

Yep, easy, but you'll have to remove the units to do it properly. It's also not going to be really deep yellow/amber like if the LEDs themselves were emitting yellow.

I've grown tired of the film personally, but I keep it on because I like how it looks off and the film protects the fog lights.
