What Are My Options for HID Lights?

I've heard that BRZ's HID lights are a direct swap for the FRS... does anyone know how much they are and if any vendors are doing like a core sale/exchange of some sort?

Alternatively, what would be my other options? Not trying to cut corners and just go with HID bulbs. Rather looking for a quality HID kit that would match/surpass OEM kits out there.

Thanks for your help and advice.

Im surprised not more people are doing this swap. I guess it's because of the price of the OEM headlights. Maybe you guys can grab some from totaled BRZs.

Buying the BRZ headlight housing would work.. But like the GT86 headlight conversion I'm sure it's not just blog and play.. I went with the THe RetroFit Source projector kit... I believe it's the mini projector kit.. I haven't baked my lights apart yet, just have a PNP DDm kit right now.. But I hear the quality of that kit I bought can't be beat for the price... Of course they have better kits with better lenses.. Guess that just depends on how much you want to spend

Best light mod so far. Reasonably affordable, high performance, and looks amazing.

depends on your budget, if it's $100, get a plug n play HID kit, if it's $1000, get a proper retrofit
