The Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ are virtually identical, but some small things do mean a lot. For example, everyone seems to like the headlights more in the Subaru BRZ. They are Bi-Xenon HID with day time running lights built in. The Scion FR-S doesn’t have this available, so people are starting to swap the BRZ headlights into a FR-S. Some people have wondered if this would fit, but we can confirm that it does. One of our customers informed us that he successfully pulled the headlights off a wrecked BRZ into his FR-S and they look great!
The USDM Subaru BRZ comes with a manual headlight leveling system that is not very complex and can be moved over. The JDM Toyota has an auto-leveling system, which would make it a much tougher swap due to the addition of this system.
If you want to keep your FR-S headlights but get HID, there are aftermarket HID kits that you can use.
Above you can see the factory Scion FR-S headlight and compare it with the Subaru BRZ in the first picture. Many people who have the FR-S are doing the BRZ headlight swap, and people with the BRZ are doing the FR-S front bumper swap.
Our customer who did this swap has sent us this picture that he found online and was his inspiration:
We think it looks absolutely great, and agree the DLR setup on the BRZ looks nicer, so this is a great swap!
