3rd LED Brake Light Conversion Kit DIY Done On Scion FR-S

Posted on by

A very common addition that many of the newer vehicles are attempting is the installation of a stylish third brake light. In this case, it’s a conversion of the red lens that came on the car from factory into a fully functioning running and brake light. Fortunately, for the Scion FR-S and Subaru BR-Z, the factory bumper comes with a red lens near the rear diffuser that covers an empty housing. The iJDMTOY LED FRS 3rd Brake Light Conversion Kit will turn that housing into a functioning safety upgrade.

Since these lights are utilizing the factory location, extensive modifications are not required. The kit includes a drill bit that is used to create a hole for the socket and LED bulb to fit in. Each kit includes a red 18-SMD 3-Emitter 5050 LED bulb that will produce a noticeable amount of light and comes with all the parts needed for installation; you just need to supply the electrical tape and tools.

The combination of the red lens and red LED bulb produces a glow that will match many aftermarket LED tail lights and the factory center brake light behind the rear window. The lights can be wired to act as just a Scion FR-S 3rd Brake Light, turning on only when the brakes are applied. Alternatively, the lights can also be wired to act as the running and brake lights as well; this will act like the outside tail lights at night. While these lights are marketed specifically towards the Scion FR-S and Subaru BR-Z, it can be also used on other vehicles with a similar light setup such as the 2009 and up Nissan 370z and more.

First Mod For Your Scion FR-S: LED Daytime Running Lights

Posted on by

The question that comes into mind for nearly all car enthusiasts when they purchase a new is, “What should I do first to my brand new car?!”. While there are so many choices out there for a first modification, a first modification for most car enthusiasts would be to create a unique look to set their car apart from the sea of other cars. Sure, you can change out an LED bulb here and there which will change the light (this is not a bad thing though!), but why stop there? As a first mod to the car, adding LED daytime running lights should be a top choice for all new Scion FR-S owners.

This LED daytime running light will substitute the existing fog light bezel and fog light itself (if your vehicle was equipped with it) with an exact fit replacement LED lamp. This light clips onto the factory location using the same clips so it requires no modification to the bumper and is completely reversible if you ever need to take it off. This light is intended to fit the 2013 and up Scion FR-S to resemble the LED daytime running lamps on the Toyota 86/GT86 in Japan. The wiring is very straight forward and does not require an astrophysicist to figure out; any experienced individual with basic electrical knowledge can easily wire these up to their vehicle.

Each LED lamp contains 6 Osram style LED diodes which produces a total output of 7.5W. Thanks to this setup, the LED DRL lights produce a very vibrant and noticeable light for your Scion FR-S that it will draw a lot of on-lookers your way. The daytime running lights have a 6000K Xenon White color which is a color that will keep law enforcement away while maintaining that white-blue tint that many people love. Not only will these innovative LED daytime running lights improve the look of the car, it also provides additional safety benefits during the day and night allowing other drivers to easily notice you. For these reasons alone, it should be enough to pull the trigger on these awesome LED lamps.

Scion FR-S equipped with LED Daytime Running Lights

Posted on by

Since the debut of the Scion FR-S in the United States, it has been at the center of attention in the automotive industry. However, unlike its equivalent in Japan; known as the Toyota 86, it does not have an option to come with LED daytime running lights integrated into the headlights in a similar style as the newer Audi and Lexus vehicles do. This style of LED daytime running light has been becoming increasingly popular among car enthusiasts. Since replacing the entire headlight assembly is quite expensive and requires complicated wiring, we decided to provide an alternative solution to this dilemma.

We are proud to introduce our brand new 7.5W Exact Fit High Power LED Daytime Running Lights for the Scion FR-S. This LED daytime running light replaces the fog light assembly area with an LED bar that looks like the vehicle came equipped from factory like this. It is a subtle, yet dramatic change to the exterior of the Scion FR-S.

Not only does this LED daytime running light look awesome, it plays an important role in enhancing the safety of your vehicle during the day and night allowing other drivers to notice you easily thanks to the high powered Osram LEDs powering it. The Xenon White color is rated at 6000K (Kelvin); a functional and aesthetically appealing color for majority of the car enthusiasts.

In addition to all the wonderful features that this light offer, it are also very easy to install; simply remove the original fog light assembly bezel and replace with ours. This will fit on the Scion FR-S with and without fog lights, but it will require you to remove the existing fog lights if so equipped. Wiring is very limited and only requires you to locate specific wires on the vehicle which are then easily connected by using the supplied quick-splices.

Our customer with this VIP-styled Lexus GS350 wanted a unique look on his car so he purchased these LEDayFlex LED lights and with some custom work, he managed to fit it vertically on his lower bumper. Out of the ten pieces in the kit, he only used eight as that was the maximum amount allowed for the room he had to work with. As long as you have enough space and have an idea of how you want to install these, it is a relatively easy installation since we also include a drill bit in the same exact size as the lights!

Scion FR-S/Subaru BR-Z LED Third Brake Light Reflector Modification

Posted on by

With the debut of the Toyota FT86 (or Scion FR-S and Subaru BR-Z as it is known in the United States), it has attracted a large interest of car enthusiasts. For those familiar with this car, a noticeable feature is the red reflector on the bottom of the bumper next to the reverse lights which has no light inside. While the FT86 already has a third brake light over the trunk inside the cabin, it seems to make more sense (visually) to have the third brake light at where the red reflector is instead.

We decided to create a simple to install, “do-it-yourself” type product that takes 1-2 hours to complete (depending on your experience). This project takes the existing reflector/reverse light housing and puts a light inside it; it does require some modification to the housing and socket.

Within the next few weeks, we will have an LED install kit available for you guys which include the bulbs, wiring socket, drill bit, and all the major components for installation. This installation just requires basic tools and a 12v power drill for installation. Not only with these lights set you apart from the rest of the crowd, but will also enhance your vehicle’s visibility at night to increase safety. These lights can operate as a third brake light by itself or it can operate as both the running light and brake light.
