Please. Thanks.

I tried to snap a few this morning but wind chill was like 10* and I'm working so had to edit on my phone. Hope you can kinda see. It's tucked completely up under the front edge behind the truck release and airbox--in the pics with my hand my fingers are touching the wire. I can try and get better pics when it's not so cold.

Im thinking on getting this mod in the next few weeks. Is this safe to do? i won't damage the car warranty?

Safe as replacing a light bulb.

If it fries your OEM bulbs or starts an engine fire, then sure - the dealership could point to that as the culprit and reject a warranty claim on the bulbs or responsibility for the fire, but your warranty remains intact for everything that isn't directly related to a failure caused by the non-OEM part.

That all said, how likely is this thing going to fry your OEM bulbs or start an engine fire? Might as well play the lottery, better chances there.

Great to finally see this come true; great job Diode Dynamics. For those of you who are worried if this could potentially damage your DRLs due to the added time they are on. I have had my DRL's on since I purchased the car over a year ago. Buy with confidence! On another note I purchased a set myself and cant wait to convert my current setup to plug and play!

Installed it today. Sadly one of the clips on the harness broke off, seems to hold together well enough though.

Now I just need to get some white fogs.

Now that I can live with. Thanks for the pics!

This will fit the 2015 model correct? Im in the page to buy and in the fitmet tab is says:

Year No
Make No
Model No
Application No

for my 2015 brz

Just looking to confirm before buying thanks.

Porcupint · 02-23-2015, 01:42 PM

Looks like mine took a detour across south Louisiana. Thanks a lot USPS.

Kibbles · 02-23-2015, 02:53 PM

Still waiting for mine to ship...Kind of misleading when they say they were going to ship on the 16th. Then I was told the other orders were going to ship by the 20th. Now it's the 23rd and still waiting!

PandaSPUR · 02-23-2015, 03:09 PM

Just got mine today. Might try to install it on the weekend.

Kinda turned off by all the electrical tape used to sleeve the wire though lol. I just personally dont like electrical tape. Otherwise this looks solid.

I believe they should work, but i would see if any other member here with a 2015 has the module or if Diode Dynamics can chime in, although I don't think that there were any changes made to the lights for the 2015 MY
