I would go off the positive on the running light. This would allow you to run "independent fog lights" as long as your running lights are on, and would allow them to remain on when you use your high beams. I believe your car should be PREWIRED for OEM fog lights. If that is the case, that is your best bet to have them wired properly to run like stock. Plugs for the fogs should be tucked up and tapped off to the wire harness behind the running lights (if brz) or blinkers (if FRS). Then you would need to purchase an OEM Light Stalk (if brz) or switch / wire harness (If FRS). The last thing would be plugging in the OEM relay into the the spot for it behind the dash near the fuse panel. -B |

I have a 2017 BRZ, with the led head lights and tail lights. Would it be possible to make the turn signals in the headlights and taillights sequential? I'm thinking the PCB for the leds would need to custom wired, but just wanted to see if there's another solution.
Also, I added a GCS fourth brake light and the reverse lights aren't very bright. I live on a very dark street so it's hard to parallel park because I can't really see the curb on the right side when reversing. Do you have any suggestions regarding adding more reverse lights, mainly on the side of the car so I can see the curb when backing up? I'm able to see fine in the rear, thanks to the backup camera, but the curb is hard to see. I was thinking of putting white underglow lights under the car on the right side along the passenger door and connecting that to trigger with the reverse lights. Or maybe some lights under passenger side mirror and point it towards the ground and triggering with the reverse lights? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for the help. |

Thanks for the reply. Seems like there's no cheap or easy solution.

I have a 2014 FR-S. The headlights on low beam are awful. They just aren't bright enough. The brights are fine but useless in city driving. Should I just buy new headlight sets or swap out the bulbs. If so, what are the recommendations for each.

you can install a HID kit into the oem projectors and they will be brighter but the output wont be as even/smooth as a proper retrofit. NO you want cause glare to oncoming by putting a HID bulb into the halogen projector. DO NOT!! put led bulbs in them, the optics are vastly different and will only cause more issues and wont benefit you. It comes down to your budget, and how much performance you want out of them. -B |

I've got some clouding on the top of my stock headlights near the hood. I've never used any of those kits to clear them up. Any tips or advice?
Also should I remove the lights before repairing? |

I use Ardex 1500 (its amazing at lightly polishing paint or removing swirls aswell) If you are worried about making a mess you can put painters tape around the surrounding areas. A lot of those headlight restore kits are a bit over board unless your headlights are very very brown. You could also try (plastic-x polish) from a local car store. -B |

What I've done with one of my previous cars was after washing the car (so the headlights get washed too), I popped the hood, clay barred the headlight, and used Meguiar's Plast-x by hand with a microfiber towel. You just gotta keep the headlights waxed often, and it should slow down the oxidation/fading of the lenses.
