Brz limited spyder headlights

Spyders on the brz. The wiring is wrong on the parking lights you have to disconect the green wire and plug the red wire from the harness into the green wire on the lights.



Here is a night pic of them installed with the lights off i will get better pics tomorrow in the day light.

Looks good.
I'm puzzled why you would want to take really cool expensive headlights out for cheap headlights?

These headlights aren't cheap $680. It uses the stock hid lights and it adds a halo along with a led parking and led turn signal. Plus they go good with my spyder tails and my mirror cap lights.

Man, I'll be honest. Stock ones look 10 times better than those... They just scream "aftermarket".

I'm mind blown. Anything made by spyder looks cheap, the way the individual LEDs are so visible. I like smooth lines and solid lights (like the OEM BRZ ones..)

IMO the stock BRZ headlights are one of the nicest looking headlights on any car, aftermarket or OEM. Couple them with Tom's tail lights and it is probably the cleanest yet still very cool looking head/tail combo available.

Those just say "I wanted to change my car, for better or worse, just to say I spent money and changed my car."



To each his own I suppose though.

Interested to see what they look like on and in the daylight! (Video didn't load for me). Why did you pay $680? You should be able to get them for $500

Looks good though

Don't know of anyone who sells the spyders for less than $680. When i first ordered them from FT86 Speed Factory they were priced as $740. Then anther dealer offered $680 and FT86 Speed Factory price matched it.

Below is a the Spyder on the left and the stock on the right. Sorry for cell phone pic.

What about a pic without the lights on? I think the Spyder lights look nice. I think the stock BRZ lights look nice. I think the Spec D Tuning lights look nice. Overall, I think the aftermarket for lights on this platform are so far not "ricey" and look aggressive and functional.

+1 OP.
