God those head lights are sexy! I love that LED too I feel like its a lot more brighter and more noticeable than the stock BRZ head lights

I really like these headlights, but I feel like the "boomerang" looks like a glow-stick in the majority of the photos where the light isn't solid all the way through, or starts to look like dirt or some impurities are stuck inside of it.

Is this just how some photos are making it look, or is the quality that bad? This image in particular highlights what I'm talking about:

That photo was taken with my phone from directly in front of the lamp, no more than 5 feet away. The camera was compensating for the light.

The boomerang isn't 1 solid LED. It's a series of LED chips. This is done to ensure consistency of light distribution. The break-off in light is where one chip ends and the next begins.

To the eye, the boomerang looks like the other photos that have been posted.

Do these work on a BRZ or will I need to wait for them to officially release a BRZ version?

They'll work on a BRZ for sure. Might be some simple different tweaks to the way you wire it, not certain about that.

Those are really great pictures! I have the led strip installed instead of fog lights. Do you think that would be too much combined with the boomerang?
