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.

How did you wire up the indicators to the BRZ headlights?
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).

Yeap, I have a gts and have brz headlights in my lounge but haven't taken off the bumper to check yet.
Not keen on modifying the harness so I am just trying to figure out if I need to make a loom for it.

Its very simple to repin the harness though. Took me maybe 5 minutes as a first timer.

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...

It also uses 8 pins, everything is the same except for pin 1 (not used in GTS) and pin 2 (high LED on GTS)

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.
