And if that doesnt work...put water in and vacuum out particles. Seal and stick tube to vacuum and place into housing and leave on for some time to remove condensation.

Something so simple, yet genius. I wish I had gone this route!

Did any of you BRZ guys also have a hell of a time getting the light fixture out of the bumper? I ended up taking all bolts and plastic pop rivets out of the bottom diffuser and still had to flex the bumper a lot to get that thing out of there. I was afraid I was on the verge of breaking the bumper!

Yeah sort of. It took patience.

Shop vac worked fine for me.

Zilla, any condensation issues with the sockets that you used?

ZILLA · 09-04-2012, 07:13 PM

none.

hi Zilla, when u said "I ran the (+) wire from each 194 bulb to the driver side tail light harness. The green wire is the regular tail light. The red wire is the brake light. The ground wires went to the OEM ground location in the trunk.

can you tell me where that is?
thanks

I also integrated the blinking module.

Here's a link to video:

What is the blinking module part? Thanks!

Thanks for that! Since I liked your vid and setup so much, might as well ask which bulbs you used. I plan to do the same thing.

I used the LEDs that you can purchase at AutoZone/O'reilly's. Thought they were referenced in ZILLA's original parts list.

Zardoman · 09-05-2012, 07:15 PM

anyone know where the OEM ground is at? or just anywhere on the car body??

thanks!

Zardoman · 09-05-2012, 11:20 PM
