FR-S 10 Series Badge - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

TheCrimsonChin · 12-08-2015, 05:07 PM

Alright, the googling that I have done for these projects hasn't turned up anything helpful, so I figured I'd leave it to the gurus of FT86 to help me out.

Two Questions.

1) Has anyone seen Toyota replacement badges for the FR-S 10 series that glow at night?

2) Whether or not their is an answer to number 1, Does anyone know how I can get the emblems to stay on at night? Am I able to hook them up to the headlights?

Thanks Gurus

All I know about those is you can not just buy them over the counter and they already stay on with headlights on the cars they come with don't they?

No. They are only on with engine turned off at specific times with the doors unlocked. They turn on when you:
1. Unlock doors from a distance with remote
2. Walk near your car with key fob in your possession when car is unlocked
3. Turn car off after running, they stay on until you lock doors, or they time out at about thirty seconds.

To the OP: they are controlled by a microprocessor that has the white come on separate from the blue, then the blue is added. If you wired them to the headlights they would come on blue and white simultaneously. I believe the controller for them is under the console, but that may only control the dash panel illumination.

I doubt know anything about OEM light up badges but you can buy light up Toyota badges and wire them however you want. Ie key power, headlights, switch, etc

Not to get off topic but why do you want light up badges?

I too had no idea they were so complicated

Since i personally have a series 10 i can say i would not want mine to be on all the time...because of the blue...it'll make your car look like a hybrid badge instead hahahaha...but that's just my opinion. What it does now is just enough i.e. unlock door...walk by the car with key fob as mentioned above.

Ashikabi · 12-08-2015, 06:36 PM

Get it in a different color?

I feel that the light up on emblem being on at night is just enough to say "Hey, look at what I am driving," without saying "I am a 90's Honda ricer." lol

Pretty sure 99% percent of people here with the glowing emblems hate them, and would gladly replace them.

Amirite?
