It looks like the Monogram/JDM 86 GT headlights are the most popular design of headlights for these cars.

Another vote for Monogram/JDM GT86 lights, I was fortunate to source a set for the price of Spec-D's!

Second would be Kouki 86, OEM quality is tough to beat.

My biggest gripe with all the options is having signal lights in the housing. I know this is to cater to the BRZ/86 crowd, but I like the FR-S with simple lighting up front: always on DRL with switchback turn signals looks sharp IMHO.

Team VLand...best looks for value. For $400 you can’t beat it. The projector is just fine for me, when properly aimed with D2H HID bulbs the output is bright as hell. People can spend $1,000 on headlights if they want, I honestly can’t tell much difference between these headlights and the OEM HID projector headlights on my G37 Coupe.

So you’re saying that for ~$600 you get decent light output? Not bad!

It'll just be that the DRLs or indicators that have limited life (talking from experience of VLAND).

Probably better to shell out the extra $200 for morimotos then.
