BRZ headlight conversion on FR-S - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

J.C. · 09-05-2014, 02:07 PM

Hey guys I'm going to be installing the brz headlights onto my FR-S pretty soon. One problem I have is that one of the headlights I received is missing the 8-pin connector and the wiring harness was also cut off from the bottom (see attached picture).

My question is what would be the most ideal solution to fixing the wiring? I was thinking of buying a new wiring harness on ebay but I'm also willing to solder on new wiring with extensions. Doesn't seem too difficult and I believe I would need 10 or 12 gauge wiring?

I already ordered two 6 pin connectors from an early 2000 MR2 so I just need to figure this issue out.

- Return the headlights for one that isn't damaged.
- Cut your FRS light harness and solder that in

How are you going to wire all the HID stuff?

Seems like cutting my harness and soldering it would be a quick fix. I was wondering about the HIDs too. I want the boomerang to stay on so I'm assuming I'd have to splice it too.
