This article is visible to only you.

Since 2013, Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ have gotten really popular here in the United States; however, some JDM accessories are not available for US models, such as fog lights, clear side-markers, and rear fog lights. Luckily, iJDMTOY comes out with this Valenti-Style LED Reverse Light that can give your Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ a fresh new look, no matter daytime or night time, no matter driving forward or reversing. The Valenti-Style LED Light has three distinct sections: the V unique to Valenti, the upside-down triangle that acts as the fog light, and the super bright LEDs as the reverse lights. These LEDs are a must have if you live the JDM life.

This DIY guide is meant to illustrate how to install the Valenti style LED backup lamp for Scion FR-S or Subaru BR-Z. Installation is pretty straightforward and is not considered difficult.

1

You would have to reach the bottom of the stock reverse lamp to unfasten the clips and clamps by the reverse light before you can take apart the lamp. There are 2 screws and a couple clips that need to be taken out before you take off the lamp.
