Looking to give your Scion FR-S or Toyota 86 a premium look? In this video, we walk you through the complete process of retrofitting OEM Subaru BRZ headlights onto an FR-S. While the FR-S and BRZ share the same chassis, the headlights are one of the biggest aesthetic differences. We’re ditching the outdated chrome halogen housings for the sleek, blacked-out BRZ Xenon enclosures with the iconic LED "boomerang" running lights.
This isn't a direct plug-and-play swap, so we dive deep into the 6-pin to 8-pin adapter requirements and the specific wiring needed to get those LED strips functioning perfectly on both the driver and passenger sides.
In this video, you’ll learn:
How to safely remove the front bumper on an FR-S/GT86.
The difference between FR-S Halogen and BRZ Xenon/LED headlights.
Which wiring adapters you need for the retrofit.
A step-by-step wiring guide (with diagrams) for the LED DRL "boomerang" strip.
Tips for securing a solid electrical connection to avoid flickering.
