Of course it is possible, cheap on the other hand, ha.

n2oinferno · 05-22-2012, 11:37 AM

So then you end up with four turn signals I suppose. Unless you delete the lower ones.

I think im going to take these over the GT86 headlights since asking price is around 2.5k. I would imagine the BRZ headlights being a cheaper swap seeing how they would be readily available in the US.

djdnz · 05-23-2012, 09:19 PM

Have you priced OEM parts lately? I bet the headlights are at least $400 each, if you're lucky. Not to mention you will have to get the ballasts and whatever other accessories it might need to do the swap. I just can't imagine the swap is worth it, at least for new parts anyway. Keep your eyes out on the junkyard maybe? It's likely cheaper in the end to buy a BRZ and swap to a FRS bumper with someone. That would be my recommendation, that way you get the extra features on the BRZ premium to boot, for the minimal price increase.

mattles · 05-23-2012, 09:40 PM

$400 each would be a bargain. No no my friend, the OEM headlamp units from SOA are roughly $820 per side, thats no bulbs, no ballasts, no wiring, no leveling motors or leveling computers. Still cheaper than JDM 86 units though, which I think Carson has for ~1100 per side.

Shevon · 05-23-2012, 10:28 PM

Thats the look im going for...i would wire the signals in the bumper to become my DRLs and change the lens color too.
