BRZ headlight shroud inside FRS headlight?

Can someone tell me if this will fit inside the FRS's headlights? As in, opening up my FRS and just throwing these bad boys in? I'm very interested in doing a boomerang mod to my FRS

probably not. the frs headlights are a tiny bit longer than the brz (at the pointy part towards center of car).

The FR-S headlight is not really longer at the center than the BRZ one.

The BRZ light is missing that “sharp” corner where the headlight meets the bumper, or is it….. In the picture below, you can see with the bumper removed that there is a plastic piece covering up this corner. Removing this small piece makes both the FR-S and BRZ headlight the exact same shape! This also means, customers can do some swapping out of headlights!

Wouldn't it be easier to just swap BRZ headlights....the full assembly?
