BRZ Headlight Swap

I know this has been discussed many upon many times. Yet I just want to know one answer before I buy BRZ headlights.

Does anyone know if the FRS has a plug for the headlight leveling switch behind the dash? I know there is a taped plug behind the dash. I believe it may be for the USDM fog lights that were just released.

Someone on this forum already installed the BRZ headlights yet has not posted his DIY yet. I know there are many individuals that have done this swap.

Thanks in advanced.

Great! Thanks for the link! In the process of reading. I have pretty much got this swap figured out. I will post up a completion of the swap when finished. I called fastWRX.com today and they confirmed the plug behind the dish for the headlight leveling switch.

Let me clarify my statement above to anyone that has done this swap. Is there is a plug for the leveling switch behind the driver's side dash?

You can see the fog light connector pulled away from where it was taped. Looks like there is no connector for the manual leveling switch for the BRZ headlamp. Even though there is anecdotal evidence stating otherwise.

Bump. Anyone have any information on the swap (i.e. DIY, feedback, etc.)? I will be performing this soon and will make a DIY otherwise.
