Do these have a sequential turn signal integrated into the colored lighting? Is that possible somehow? I was hoping to have a red daytime running light that turns amber for turn signals
Honestly thank you for making these videos. There's a lack of resources for the GR86 right now in terms of how to modify certain things compared to the old gen. It would be super awesome if you made the same tutorials for modifying the GR86 as you did for the FRS. Aftermarket seats, quick release, headers, exhaust, how to deal with TPMS, etc are just some of the things I'd like to have videos of when I mod mine. I think a lot of people will try to search for these and you'd get a lot of views.
Hey Kevin - I've been following this build for a while as I'm a huge gr86 fan despite owning an ND2...lol. But thanks for the attention to detail and for being bold to make and do mods. I reached out to Circuit demon as they're actually close to me and they had the best custom service. Sent me a good quote to do my own miata headlights even though they don't typically work em. Glad I could see their quality from this vid. Will look for you on Insta now!
@chrisx5127 I certainly do appreciate the gr/frs platform and at times miss it for daily convenience. But I still take all my same business trips, track events and or daily canyon driving all the same in my miata...just with more teteris-focused packing. In regards to power or handling, I think it just boils down to what exp you prefer more. For me, that's a roadster 10 out of 10 times.
@@just.a.simplejoe I wanted the ND2 (dream car), but it just wasn't practical for me especially since I live in Minnesota where it is winter 8 to 9 months out of the year. GR86 is not in my tier 1 because of the taillight. Gen 1 BRZ was. If only they gave the GR86 the Nissan GTR taillight. I'll be running to the Toyota dealership lol. My personal opinion---the GR86 front and taillight don't match.
hey Kevin those taillights look very good 👍 . thanks for all your 86 videos, they are very clear and well filmed. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Spain.
You guys should design a tail light replacement for the black bar above the Toyota badge that runs between the two original tail lights. Make it a red bar that runs along the entire strip (no break in the middle) and lights up with both tail and brake pedal. Delete the boot opening button (in favour of remote), relocate it or maybe make it clear to not impact LEDs.
Love the videos homie!!! Keep up the good vibes and interesting detailed DIY! I just purchased a 2018 Toyota GT86 ! I’ve already bought me the 4th Valenti brake light!! Going to install it this week! Is there any videos on the wiring situation? Thanks!
Also, quick heads up about the store page with a semi-issue I faced. On mobile I only saw a “purchase” option, but I wanted to buy multiple things. Purchase takes you to checkout but also functions as add to cart which ended up letting me make two orders in the same cart
@@KevinVo ahh gotcha. Yea because I know the DRL's are at 100% brightness when you put the car into gear, but when you turn on the low beams, the DRL's dim to about 30% output. I was just curious if it still does that or not 😅
Hey just a heads up, your site currently has the store in test mode. Trying to pick up a set of the overlays. Headlights look sick btw, hopefully they start selling premade sets soon.
How far are you from Omaha? Is it easier to ship the overlays to me or could I pick them up? I currently have a 2016 FR-S, but a new 2023 BRZ arriving hopefully in January.
I haven't even got my GR86 and I am already hating Toyota's way of mounting headlights. I shouldn't have to disassemble the entire front end to get at the headlights.
@@laflame1339 still removing tons of plastic clips and such are a major risk for damage to the bumper which wouldn't be a cheap part to replace. Four bolts to hold the housing to the frame and having the assembly pop out the front shouldn't be impossible to engineer and makes doing headlight maintenance something that can be done quickly with little risk of damage.
I haven't taken the headlights out on too many cars, but I'd honestly say this is one of the easier ones to do. Removing the lights on my GTI was a pain haha
Yo solid video... I had a quick question regarding the headlights. In one of your other videos, you mentioned that you might need to pass the headlights via the fuse box instead of attaching directly to the battery as they were draining it. Did you every fix/solve that issue? If so, how did you do it?
I’m definitely gonna get these when I get a gr86 premium but I’m gonna wait a year or two maybe longer it seems tough to get one right now and I need to save my money anyways
$3,000!!! I mean, it’s worth it for the quality, but damn. Is the price less if you send in your own headlights? The website mentions you can so I’m wondering if that route comes with a discount.
That's only if you buy a complete set of headlights which means they have to supply a set of OEM headlights to work on. If you send them your own it is much less expensive: circuitdemon.com/collections/all-headlights/products/circuit-demon-2022-brz-headlights
@@KevinVo I just want what you got, the oem style with the rgb but I wish it wasn’t so pricey :( and I wouldn’t be able to send them in even though it’s cheaper since it will be my only car. Can’t drive around with no headlights unfortunately lol
Hey Kevin, nice video! I had a question, do the lights still respond to your steering? For the gr86 premium, they have steering responsive headlights, and I would like to know if it still works. Thanks!
I just checked their website and I didn't see anything for the GR86. Do you know if I can just order the headlights with it installed or do I have to send in my only headlights? How much is our as well?
It's actually listed under the 22+ BRZ category but it's the same thing. You can buy complete headlights, but it will be very expensive because they have to source a set of OEM headlights to use so I'd recommend sending them in. It's $2800 for a complete set and $900 if you send yours in. You can also buy the components to do it yourself if you choose.
You can buy the components and do it yourself. Of course it'll be more spendy to send it in to professionals to have it done. You're paying for the labor.
@@KevinVo Very nice. BTW are you a mechanic? Because you have the car lift and everything. If not, how did you get started on cars? Hopefully, someday I can have my own house. Already have the blueprint and everything.
Super stoked to be a part of this! Thanks for letting us toy around with your lights 😀
Honored to be working with you guys! Fantastic work!!

I'll be making a video on every single modification so it'll all be covered!!
Finally the GR86 looking good again.
It was only a matter of time!

Do you prefer the GR86 over your ND2 Miata? Which do you like more?

Appreciate your support! Thanks for watching!!
Never liked turn signal overlays, but those side marker overlays are a must. Car's looking great, good stuff!
It's crazy what such a small thing can do for the car! Thanks for watching!
Its a must the smoked out turn signal fixes the hyper flashing issue
Sure is a lot of work. You did a great job putting everything back together.
I'm sure it won't be the last time the front end of the car is disassembled haha thanks for watching!
Was in the market for some overlays so this was perfect timing! Looking forward to the sour patch
I will make it rain sour patch kids for you!
Headlights are sick and clean!
Thanks!! I love them!
You’ve definitely improved on making videos man from camera angles to the commentary and the editing. Great job keep it up.
Love it ! Already placed my order for the tail lights’ overlays
i saw these on circuit demons channel but they didnt have examples of an 86, thanks kev they look bassass
Thanks!! Glad you like them!
Thanks Kevin, overlays on the way!
I'll have those shipped out today for you!
Looks great! Adding to my GR86 playlist for future mods 😂
Follow me down the rabbit hole!
Living thru your videos man. I fucking want one. Amazing build 👌
Thank you!! DO ITTTTTT!!!!
I'd really like to see a headlight option where the DRL goes all the way up the side of the light rather than stop halfway at the reflector.
We'll see what kind of aftermarket options pop up!
The tail light overlays look great just ordered a set
Thank you for your support!!!!
So beautiful. I like it!!!
Thanks! I'm loving it as well!

Driving with those colored headlights would be highly illegal here in Belgium :D
I will keep them a solid color when driving and we'll see what I can get away with haha
@@KevinVo would not dare to try it here, but good luck bro!

Thanks for all the love!! Congrats on the GT86! I think Tomas made a video awhile back on that install. Check the FTspeed channel it may be on there.
please have comparison with stock in your videos

They're the best!!!
@@KevinVo Do the LEDS dim when you turn on your low beams or do they still remain bright?
Great question, it's actually recommended to turn the demon eyes off if your headlights are actually on because you will eventually overheat them.
@@KevinVo ahh gotcha. Yea because I know the DRL's are at 100% brightness when you put the car into gear, but when you turn on the low beams, the DRL's dim to about 30% output. I was just curious if it still does that or not 😅
@@FujiboHeavy honestly I'm not sure if it still does that haha I'll have to take a look!
Love the lights, and the overlays! Still have to wait 6-12 months for my car but I might buy some to have ready to go :)
Thanks for watching!!! Hope you get yours sooner rather than later!
Would love to see a supercharger install & dyno 😈
We'll add some FI later on down the road 😅
These headlights are awesome!!!
bruh that ish has to be a ticket waiting to happen (depending on where you live)
I won't be driving around with the lights changing color and such so it shouldn't be a big deal.
Hey just a heads up, your site currently has the store in test mode. Trying to pick up a set of the overlays.
Headlights look sick btw, hopefully they start selling premade sets soon.
Rob, thank you so much for letting me know! I switched test mode off so you should be good to go now!!
Will these fit 2023 also does installing aftermarket headlights get rid of the stupid dark shadows on the left side of the ome ones?
*Only the OGs know about the Laffy Taffy… 13-15 owners tap in!*
BANANA FTW!! 😂
Just got the whole set thank you Kevin!
Thank you for the support!!!
How far are you from Omaha? Is it easier to ship the overlays to me or could I pick them up? I currently have a 2016 FR-S, but a new 2023 BRZ arriving hopefully in January.
I'm a couple hours away in Des Moines, so it'll probably be much more convenient to just ship them. I hope you get your BRZ soon!!
Circuit demon is 15 minutes away from me WHATTTT I NEED THIS

I have a 2007 Corolla and had to take the front bumper to remove the head light. This is nothing new
@@mm8436 Yeah my 02 Camry is the same way. I honestly expected better from Toyota 20 years later.
Maybe buy a car that has headlights you like.
Man I would like to see those DRLs go all the way to the corners

I wish I could drive my gr86 into his garage and have him do all these upgrades. I'm gonna get them done I just fear doing them myself haha
man i wanna start buying parts but my dealer can’t find a manual transmission gr86 😭
I hope you can find one soon!
Maine has 3 of them available.
Like to see some side skirts and rear diffuser
SOOOOOON!!!
Nice headlights but why do the led strips only light up halfway up?
I’m definitely gonna get these when I get a gr86 premium but I’m gonna wait a year or two maybe longer it seems tough to get one right now and I need to save my money anyways
Aww damnit I wanted a full set of overlays but I’m UK and can’t order outside of the states 😢
I'm working on it and hoping to have international shipping setup within the next few weeks!
Woohoo!
Dang it, I can't order them. When are you going to ship outside the US?

With the reverse light overlay will the 4th brake light show through? I did that $35 mod you showed and want to keep that.
Yes it is still visible, just not as visible because of the smoked tint.
@@KevinVo nice
awesome job on those overlays man! i make custom stickers for gramlights and would be cool to collab
Send over an email to info@driven.media and we'll see what we can make happen!
@@KevinVo sent!
Wish he had gone with BRZ instead
Driven media TH-cam channel is gonna try to buy your website😅😅😅
Who dat???
@@KevinVo search it, it’s a channel started by Scott from driver61
Why can't the DRL run all the way up and cover the other part too
That top portion is just a reflector so there's no room behind it.
@@KevinVo they should make one like last gen brz headlights. It was so aggressive
gah damn!!!
😍😍😍
Is there any way I can get a set of all stickers ( for both top and bottom light ) to switzerland? In the shop I can only select US
IF I CAN’T EAT ANY OF THE SOUR PATCH KIDS YOU CAN’T EITHER
😂😂😂
I wish you lived in my state so you could install this stuff for me I don’t know how to work on cars lol
I thought they were gonna be new headlights you guys were gonna sell :( still looks really good though!
I'm curious to see what aftermarket companies offer for headlights for these cars. I really like the OEM lights so it'll be hard to sway me.
@@KevinVo I just want what you got, the oem style with the rgb but I wish it wasn’t so pricey :( and I wouldn’t be able to send them in even though it’s cheaper since it will be my only car. Can’t drive around with no headlights unfortunately lol
Why did you remove the carbon fiber airbox?
Will these be sold pre-made?
Yes, but it will be 3x as expensive because they will have to source a set of OEM headlights.

is that a piece of lint or something inside the housing?

9:02 Is that a hair on the inside?
As an RGB hater, I don't know how to feel about those headlights.
NEED REAR WINDOW LOUVERS
So, did you give up on the tune?
Nope, just have other things to do. Plus it's winter in Iowa now so the car doesn't get driven much with all the salt on the roads.
Ur website name overlaps with another car enthusiast channel on here so im not sure how much trouble thats going to get you in.
Everything has been legally registered through my state so we'll be ok! Thanks for looking out!
Does the Headlights still turn when you turn the Car?
I have a base model so I don't have that feature.
