Replace front DRL/indicators on GT/FRS
Hey Guys,
I've fitted BRZ headlights to my GT and was wondering if there was something l could replace the DRL/indicator with on the front bar with? As the BRZ headlights already have an indicator, l don't really need the two! Cheers! |

Look at what Kalen (JET86) in NSW has done to his. Looks much better with the fog/indicator delete.

Did you just pull it off the front indicators on the bumper then plug it directly into the indicators on the BRZ headlights? |

Pretty much. The BRZ headlights use an 8 pin connector(GT/FRS uses 6 pin), with an extra wire used for the indicators. I simply taped the existing indicator positive line and plugged it into Pin 1 (diagram attached).

Not keen on modifying the harness so I am just trying to figure out if I need to make a loom for it.

The GT actually has the wires in matching colours (i.e right parkers are both red). This made the job much easier for me. I can't help you with the GTS but if you have any question about the BRZ wiring, let me know. Actually, what are you going to do about the auto leveling? BRZ uses the same harness as the GT. I think the GTS maybe different... |

As for auto leveling, I hadn't looked into it yet. I don't see why it would be different but I'll know when I take the bumper off, unless someone can chime in. EDIT:Just checked, same plug. |
