Wiring FRS headlights into a BRZ

I know, I know, this is ass backwards in terms of upgrades but I picked up these lights for cheap and just need something to illuminate the track for night drifting. I’m aware these don’t have turn signal functions and have much shittier light output. The most this car will be street driven is from my garage onto the trailer, it is solely a drift car.

I purchased some 8 pin to 6 pin conversion harnesses but they don’t work so I’ll need to wire these myself. I see a ton of random wiring diagrams online but am looking for some advice from anyone that has done this conversion themselves. Car is a 2013. Thank you in advance!

Help sourcing oil leak

Hey guys! I’m looking to get some help in sourcing this oil leak. I haven’t done and bought the dye yet (just changed the oil) but I noticed that this spot reappears after cleaning everything up. Could this be a loose oil pan leak or more indicative of a rear main seal? This particular vehicle doesn’t have a dizzy, so I don’t think it’s a dizzy o ring leak. Thoughts from the experts?

It looks clean but has no receipts for the work done. Per the current owner it is a 1988 Tin Top Zuki. It’s got 5.38 axle gears front and rear, 6.5-1 gearing in the transfer case and a Suzuki Aerio 2.3L engine swap. Thoughts? I’m typically really against buying someone else’s project but this one seems well sorted and runs great. Thoughts?

Hey! I’m looking to find a more off-road friendly replacement for my 2006 Tundra. I love the mechanical simplicity of the 2UZ and have come across this vehicle pretty close to me.

It’s got 210K miles and the owner is asking $16K.

It’s supposedly a zero rust SW car.

-Timing Belt, water pump, hoses, fan bracket, pulleys and belt replaced at 200k.
-Replaced CV axle both HD
-Replaced upper control arms
-Replaced lower control arms
-Replaced sway bar links
-Replaced outer tie rods ends
-Transfer case serviced
-All Rotors replaced with ceramic brake pads
-Front wheel alignment
-Synthetic oil change

Big ticket items for me seem to be the TB/WP. Any other major questions I should be asking? Things I should look out for? Is $16K a reasonable price?

How are these with towing? It looks like it’s rated for 6500lbs similar to my Tundra. I tow about 5K, any major things to look out for with that?

Thank you!
