Can I install zenki 86 (12-16) lights on a kouki (17-20) 86 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I found some beautiful Blitz headlights (attached picture) that I would like to install on my 2017 86 but they are only compatible with the pre-facelift models. I've seen threads on here suggesting the use of a 6-to-8 pin adapter to install kouki headlights on a zenki model. Are there 8-to-6 pin adapters that would allow me to install zenki headlights on my kouki model?

It should work just fine. The Zenki HID headlights all used 8pin connectors. You might need to play around with the pin order; you might also need to get Zenki headlight brackets (but I might be wrong about the brackets)

And to be clear, you found an actual pair of these from a private party? Blitz doesn't sell those headlights straight up. It's a core exchange: you need to send them a set of OEM Zenki HID headlights which they then customize.

Yeah I kind of jumped the gun in posting this. I found that out after reading more about them. I'll still consider them. To me, they're the best looking headlights.

You can still find OEM Zenki FRS headlights. They look exactly the same, except they don't have the halo light ring and integrated blinker (it's just a normal DRL instead)

They came on the special edition FRS's (RS1, RS2, and 10 Series) and the Monogram Trim
