Dang a little too much for my budget.

Time to start camping out on Yahoo Japan Auctions

Are the leveling sensor and ECU components necessary? Or we can just buy the headlight units

86'd · 05-25-2012, 03:58 AM

Lol.

If you're spending $2400 on headlights, you might as well spend the extra $400 for the leveling motors.

I guess if I really want the gt86 look I'll be going with some cheap Depo knock offs lol. J/K

Retrofit for me.

Hahaha wow ..

more specifically you are gonna need european units from some place that drives on the right. Germany comes to mind.

colHolm · 05-25-2012, 06:26 PM

The part numbers posted are for LHD cars.

WWEVOX · 05-25-2012, 07:14 PM

Oof I wonder if I can pick these up from a dealer when I go to Japan for cheaper. But then why would the Japanese dealers have Euro-spec parts?

tripjammer · 07-26-2012, 11:20 PM

$3000 is too damn much....just do a proper retro fit for $300 and probably have better hids than the OEM ones, or get the Subaru BRZ HIDS for $675 each....

I am making a stop in the toyota dealership in Sweden as part of my trip plans to ask about the headlight housings for my Rav4 and the GT86 as far as pricing and availability. Since I don't own a FRS yet its all part of my research and planning...

For those who can't afford $3000 JDM headlights, Theretrofitsource.com has a nice looking retrofit kit and angel eyes all for around $368! It's a great alternative and won't break your pockets either.

Hyundai Genesis retrofitted w/ angel eyes
