FR-S to BRZ Headlight Conversion? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

tdoggy57 · 01-30-2013, 12:11 PM

I've looked around the internet and have yet to find a definitive answer to any of my questions.

I'm interested in installing BRZ headlights on my FR-S. How difficult of an install do you think this would be?

I know of the website that has each assembly for about $675 a piece, is there any way to get them cheaper besides part-outs (haven't seen any but 1 headlight on ebay)?

If the BRZ lights are too much of a hassle, I could deal with blacked out stock lights. I would need another pair though. Anybody know how much a pair of stock FR-S lights would run?

Thanks!

All I know is is that the bumper will have some fitment issues due to the different size in headlights between the FR-S and the BRZ.

buy a BRZ. who knows, maybe one day you'll want the toggle switches too, or the nav, or the seats, or the butt warmer or the fender trim...
save all the hassle down the road but the brz now!

Where did you get this from? Not true at all.

Yeah 675 per light is too much

The actual lens/lamp assembly are the same dimensions as confirmed from my source. The front bumper on the BRZ covers the headlight assembly a bit more, making the eyes look a bit shorter across, and the orange marker light inside seems to be reflected or positioned differently.　 The front facing turn signals are mounted inside the BRZ headlamp assembly, while the FRS/86 has them outside in the corner of the bumper, above the fog lamps.

From there? Maybe I misunderstood the statement.

Edit: After re-reading the statement, I see that it'll be just fine. My bad. Looks are deceiving.
