Im looking to get my hands on a set of BRZ headlights.

I love how they look but and know theyll fit in a FRS, But is there anything else i need with them?

The turn signal will be a problem, they have it in the headlight unlike the fr-s and you'll prob have to hook up a harness for that.

good-used headlights really don't go on sale at all.. you're better off getting a brand new set from somewhere..

i've been looking for discounted but still intact brz headlamps for some projects i'm working on for about the last 6 months... all i've found is damaged housings-- which is great to test ideas out on, but not useful for installing on the car..

you could just bake the headlight and take the lense off, swap it with an undamaged one right?

I think ill just try to stalk junk yards and wait patiently for them. and if the turn signal is in the headlight there should be a way to just keep it on at all times like the frs running light right?

most of the damaged housings i've looked at, the back half of the housing is damaged, usually the mounting tabs are cracked or broken off.. one of my test housings(i have a separately purchased L/R pair) has damage to the plastic shroud pieces that surround the projector and signal.. the other, there is damage to outer perimeter of the lens, as well as most of the mounting tabs.. so out of my test set, the one would hold water better then a bath tub, and the other won't mount to the car

so yes the lens can just bake off, and it is the easiest part to replace, but usually the lens isn't that part that is damaged, so it doesn't really get you anywhere.

link? though i really haven't seen any other headlights i'd want(i've seen the winjet and sonar ones).. the gt86/10 series one's are nice, but i like the led accenting on the brz units much better, as well as the allowance they gave me to fit an extra set of projectors where the current turn signal is..

overall, i'm quite happy with the brz headlights-- it was partly the reason i bought a brz over fr-s actually.. i'm kind of a headlight nut..
