That Ultramarine color is very nice... Just curious, why not consider a BRZ Limited since it has most of the same features as the 10 series?

The normal fr-s is closer in comparison to the 86 than the scioned out 10 series.Only the headlights, and imo they can keep them. I think I'm one of the few who are more satisfied with turn key and no LED drl.

A different color doesn't make it any better. Tacky.

I love the non HID headlight too.
It just happened that I got a good deal for a brz. It made no sense to me to buy a frs which technically was not negotiable.

I don't want it for the DRL's, I don't even have DRL's on my car... I want the headlights cause they are HID's and after driving with HID's headlights for the last 5 years, I can't go back to shitty halogen ones, and the stock headlights look like crap IMO, also the Dual climate makes the interior look a lot more upscale, the push start is an added bonus though.

HID ballast conversion is very easy. Plug and play.

Yes, but the cut offs are not... putting HID's in a Halogen projector look like shit

Proper cutoff

we are speaking the same language. I've had experience with HID conversion with excellent results. I've seen your problem come from non-projection lenses with HID's in them. lot's of Jeeps and lifted big ol picup truks git urself a hankern fer....
