I cant believe there are no LED headlight alternatives

hey guys, new owner here, love the g37 and just wanna step on the gas everytime i sit in the car! I absolutely love the car!

but no alternatives as far as LED headlights? Thats hard to believe. Ive seen the ricey halo kit thats out there but i was looking for something a little more "refined" lol.

Anybody know of anything else out there or on the horizon?

I have seen some sweet BRZ aftermarket head lights and tail lights.

We have nothing. Except for custom options.

Diode Dynamics for all your G lighting needs for sure man. They are an incredible vendor here on the forum with great prices and unbelievably fast shipping. Check them out.

I don't think halos are rice at all unless it's done wrong, there some skillful people that work on headlights that can do some amazing work on our cars. There are several options when it comes to customizing the headlights so maybe you need to look at those options to add some led's

The custom head lights we can do are pretty nice. Some of them.

I just cant believe there really is no options for our tail lights. Besides tinting or night shades. Or the over lays.

I think the giant red tail lights look terrible.

I like big red tail lights. Helps get the attention of tailgaters when they light up.

The tail as turn module from Diode Dynamics is a pretty nice touch for our tail lights in my opinion. You'd think I work on commission from them from how highly I talk about them but they really have been the best vendor for lighting in my opinion.

As for custom headlights 180 is probably one of the best even though a bit pricey.

There's also another place in Brooklyn I believe that's good and a bit cheaper called go2customs.

These are super clean. Lucky BRZ ******.



I know its not really a fair comparison. Since the style/size is so much newer.

The 4 light Panamera setup is sweet too, if I were paying for headlight work that would be my first choice.


Also Buffalo, if you ever get into your lights be sure to change out the projector lens, the OEM fresnal lens is poor, it's not crystal clear and the cutoff is just ok, the lenses from www.theretrofitsource.com are killer, cutoff is adjustable and w/ the right spacing you can get razor sharp cutoff w/ a nice blue edge, and the clear lens looks so much better in the housing
Oh, and welcome to the site!
