please explain the different lower front lights on US spec BRZ - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm guessing secondary DRLs.

The second photo from the US spec photos shows the car running and those lower lights don't seem to be lit.

Maybe not DRL?

I don't know if they're DRLs or if they're supplementary fog lights, but they are three high powered LEDs in each one. You can see the three yellow circles inside the housing. I stuck a high powered LED next to it in the pic.

There such a thing as low beam and high beam fog lights?

Don't think so, hi-beam would just reflect off the fog back into your eyes. I could be wrong though...

Yeah that is what I thought. Just not sure why the one fog has 3 high powered LEDs in it then.

Maybe they're just parking lights? Here's a better shot.

Here's a better pic of the LED strip lit

I really think its the parking lights.. that one notch you go before you turn on your headlights. Then again... I could be wrong... but I really am leaning towards it being parking lights.

BRZ "Premium" it seems.

WhiteGDB · 12-03-2011, 04:34 AM

The BRZ's headlights look better every time I see them. Is there a better set of OEM headlights on the market than the BRZ? I can't think of any.
