FR-S / BRZ / 86 Top Lighting Gifts

For over 3 decades now, HID lighting was a higher option on luxury vehicles that quickly became very desirable in the aftermarket. We really started seeing aftermarket HID kits land in the aftermarket circa 2004ish and then the aftermarket was off to the races. However, during this time HID kits were used irresponsibly. Meaning users did not know how to correctly aim their beam pattern or people would install these on lifted trucks. Everyone but the driver got blinded, and HID kits were frowned upon by those who didn’t invest 10 minutes out of their day to lower their beam. Now HID kits included large ballasts and had a specially designed bulb that plugged into the ballast along with other wiring to power everything. It was quite the kit. Today, HID lighting technology still exists, but now LED technology is more compact, efficient, and are less energy consuming when compared to your standard Halogen-style bulb. But even with all of this newer technology, newer cars such as the first-generation BRZ, FR-S, or 86 don’t come equipped with these options. Luckily, we have many available choices to suit your needs.

OLM SEQUENTIAL STYLE HEADLIGHTS WITH 6000K HID 2013-2016 Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86

When looking back at the 2013-2020 Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, and the Toyota 86, the design of the first-generation models aged very well. Aesthetically for the 2022+ GR86 and BRZ models, there are some changes obviously to the engine and updates to keep the technology up to date, but the newer models still maintain the shape and the lines of the first generation. This means that for you first-gen owners, it doesn’t take that much to get your car up to date.

The majority of newer vehicles driving off of the assembly line will have some form of LED technology. And as mentioned with the fog lights, LED lighting uses less energy to operate while producing a brighter beam of light. So it would be cost-effective to utilize LED’s, they are safer on the road in terms of more lighting coverage, and it’s less wear and tear on the power loads of your electrical system,

That being said, OLM knocks it out of the park with their Sequential-Style Headlights. These have many features, but you can see the built-in boomerang daytime running lights that almost provide an exotic look that derives from a Tron movie.
