Anybody fit REAL projectors in FR-S yet? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I don't mean morimoto..
Nothing against the TRS retros but I'm just curious if someone has done a different projector in the FR-S housing.

I mean like AP1 s2K, LS430, RX330s, TSX, etc.

You know.. the good stuff.

anyone? anyone? bueller?

FWIW, the BRZ uses RX350 projectors from the factory if I'm not mistaken.

I was unaware that the twins came with FAKE projectors to begin with

Not fake per se, but he is referring to the fact that FRS projectors are designed for halogen bulbs and the people that throw an HID bulb in there are performing a ghetto and inefficient conversion.

TRS is really the only game in town.

In six years, brz hid lights will be stolen constantly.

In the next few weeks, I'm hoping to stick some RX330 non-AFS projectors in mine using OEM Matsushita ballasts and some Philips 85122 bulbs. Time frame will depend on the weather cooperating for painting purposes and whether or not I need to tune the projectors too much.

While it's apart, I think I'm going to throw some HID projectors in the fogs as well, but I want to see how sharp the cutoff is once the bulbs come in. After that, I'll decide if I want to use the HID projectors or if I'll go with the OSRAM LED projectors.

Does FX-Rs count as the good stuff?

sshole · 02-10-2014, 12:15 PM

FX-R is replica. Do they still suffer from laserbeams?

THIS!
Please let me know how it turns out.
If I can help making any kind of mounting brackets, let me know.

speedrye · 02-10-2014, 01:59 PM

I'm pretty sure these will be a direct bolt in. Literally unscrew the stock projectors and screw the new ones in (once sharpened/tuned), but we'll see... If I do need brackets, I'm pretty good with AutoCAD and getting things laser cut, but I'm hoping it won't come to that.

speedrye · 02-26-2014, 07:36 AM

Still needs tuning, but it's a good start. I'll post up a thread before too long. Ignore the light above the cutoff, that's just reflections from the cars:

Direct bolt in like you suspected? I wonder if they'll bolt in to winjets..
