I would say there is no real need for the retrofit in this car, just my .02.
Unless you're obsessed with light, I agree.

Just saw you are from AUS i always forget there are people not from the US but they may ship there. I'm sure you can find something on the island though.

This is the auction I purchased it from: http://www.ebay.com/itm/H11-FULL-XEN...20953424140%26

I'm cusers713. We're going to see if some halos we have around the shop fit. If not we'll probably order some dual color for the front. Could put SMD or CCFL half rings in the tail lights as well.

You would need to be really obsessed.

I hope you like them. I'm about to take a trip up to Colorado, and I'm glad that I don't have halogens anymore.

Some people are obsessed with light. You saw my FJ rundown? A customer just called trying to get pricing on converting a non RS Camaro to RS factory headlights. Over $1300 bucks. This will be one of the best under $100 upgrades I do to the car.

since they don't have the FR-S listed on there, which car did you select to buy?

You dont need to select a car, the link he posted is a direct link to the h11 hid bulb and 6000k light color. The select a car is just to see if it fits your car.
