What you HATE the most on your FR-S/BRZ/GT86/FT86? - Page 151 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Can't say I "hate" anything about mine yet.... ok I've had it for 2 days so maybe I havent looked hard enough yet... However...that said... The H.I.D headlights are fantastic on high beam. On low beam they seem like they are aimed just about on the ground only about 15 feet in front of the car. Dont really notice it in city traffic at night with all the other ambient lights around....but on a dark country road with twistys....the low beams just dont penetrate down the road far enough. Click the highs on and its about as bright as noon on a summer day though (oncoming cars must love that lol )

I believe your car should have a headlight level adjustment switch next to the dimmer switch on the left side, where your trunk release button is.

This for all FR-S?? I love this car more and more every time I find out something new!

Not for all FRS, I believe only the ones that have the JDM HID Headlights (such as 10Series and Monogram editions) have the headlight adjustment.

That being said, I could be wrong, they might be a BRZ only feature...

I don't like my spoiler or stock wheels on my brz. New wheels on the way though. Other than that, I'm pretty much in love. I'll be wishing I had a sunroof still if the weather ever becomes nice in ohio

I'll check out the headlight level switch and let ya know

Thanks for the info

Haeb · 03-24-2014, 06:08 PM

Hey there Guff... You sir are absolutely correct - located next to the dimmer switch is a headlight level dial. So presuming that corrects the aim issue, which I dont see why it wouldnt, I am now back in the cant find anything I dont like about this car mode

Also it gives me a great reason to go for a nice long ride after dark....gotta get those headlights adjusted jusssssst right

and very stupid that the clock looks like its from 1980.

also that the clock is orange while the hvac and window buttons, gauges are red.

I love the clock
Maybe because I'm an 80's child

Interesting to see how many complaints are that the car lacks stuff that would make it heavier, more complex, more expensive, and less of the sports car it was designed to be. Maybe my thinking is warped because my current car is a go-kart with doors, but the philosophy behind a driver's car is that the focus is on light weight and simplicity. A radio is an optional luxury. You want electric seats and a moon roof and 87 speaker surround sound and climate control and the ability to run your doodads from buttons on the steering wheel, you don't want a sports car.

But then consumer-driven bloat ain't anything new...
