Best Headlights?!

I am interested in a FRS but the major complaint i have is the head lights however you can bake them and they look really cool. Was wondering what you guys feel is the best looking?

Stock
Baked
BRZ
JDM Spec (GT86)

i think for the price and bang for your buck obviously baked. i think the gt86 headlights are sexy and would totally retrofit that led bar in the stock headlights if its possible

If you take away the fact that the 86 headlights are not offered here, I think the BRZ headlights are the best looking

I think the BRZ headlights look the best. I'm not a big fan of the 86's led eyebrow strip at the top of the headlight (better looking than the FR-S though).

I like both the BRZ and 86 headlights equally, but considering the cost to get new 86 headlights vs trying to find a wrecked BRZ's headlights, the BRZ headlights are a much more economical choice.

Also, the 86 uses the strip-type LED lighting which is a little dated now as far as auto fashion is concerned, considering everyone's switching to the tube-optic LED lighting (Audi, Porsche, M-B, etc.). BMW's been using tube optic LED's all along with it's "angel eyes", but still manages to keep it looking fresh.

And because

Anyone have pictures of the BRZ headlights on the FR-S? I've seen the pics of the FR-S with the BRZ headlights but with graphics all over the car. I'm looking for pics of a clean FR-S with the BRZ headlights.

I only like the Toyota 86 and the Subaru BRZ headlights.
IMHO the FR-S ones look too... old school and cheap in contrast to its overall sleek modern design...

I like the overall shape of the GT86 units. Basically Scion shape with the extra LEDs. I'd never pay to switch the units. However, I do have HIDs and all LED's ncluding the 9005 brights/DRLs.

What are the lights in the red one?

And i really like the BRZ's one based of the picture with the blue car brz and black frs. The FRS one looks really cluttered.
