Some Concerns?? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

So I'm getting the Subaru BRZ and was wondering how the headlights look. They are pretty pure white looking right? I hope so haha. Alssooo Just wanted thoughts of the Blue interior illumination kit. I dont like it considering it contradicts the red stitching and red theme to the subaru.. I never saw it person so I was hoping it will look better haha. Any thoughts?

Bought a car sight unseen? Check.
Doesn't know what HID lights look like? Check.
Wants internet folks' opinion on red v blue interior illumination kits? Yup. Welcome to your late teens/early twenties.

I've got the blue illumination kit (it just happened to be on the car that I wanted). I dont care for it to be honest. I may change it to red soon.

Oh and its pretty dim compared to others I've put/helped put on cars.

So you don't think it looks too bad? Thanks,

Nah, doesn't look bad. I'd just rather it be red.

Red interior lighting is a simple upgrade IMO

They're alright. They don't look like Mercedes or Acura. The lens is fresnal, and doesn't have the same blueish cutoff you see when you others are driving towards you.

I swapped out my bulbs for 6000k for $30. They look awesome, but a little too blue. I think 5000k bulbs would look perfect on the car.

Before you do the blue illumination, do this. I swear.

Makes stock BRZ lighting look terrible. Best $40 I ever spent

There's threads on here with youtube videos for all those swaps too. You can have all those done in a half hour

This is the best I have for the 6000k headlight bulbs. Not really a good example, but they're pretty blue.

The stock bulbs match the LED boomerang perfectly. So with the bluer bulbs, the boomerang is more noticeable.

Stock is pure white.
