@@Smeedia from how i understood it.. silvers and fortune auto parts are made in the same factory. fortune auto just paints them all pretty and calls them custom made. its really not that case. and Silvers USA headquarters is literally 10 mins from my house here in Florida. i may have heard all that info from the horses mouth. (wink wink) but either way both work great
Looks good man! Is there anyway you could do a more detailed video about the wiring part of the headlights? I suck at wiring and don’t know to crimp wires or do anything of that nature
This is the first I've bought but I'm the same way with their company, only reason I got them is because I know how to repair them if they leak or fail
Smeedia now that I think of it, I haven’t seen a video of which companies are best to buy from for Subie aftermarket products. I’m sure it’s a preference thing but I only know a few. I’m sure there are a lot more. Maybe like a top 5 most popular? Anyways... good luck with the headlights! ✌🏼
I’m not a true expert on the difference. If I recall correctly, V2s are brighter and have the sequential C lights as the turn signal instead of the inner vertical bars in the V1. I am having some flickering issues with my V2s right now but they look great.
They are cool, but I’m not a fan of the square side profile. I would rock the V2 tail lights but when it comes to spending $600 on my car, there’s a lot of other things I’d spend it on before tail lights.
Smeedia yeah man, In your case you’ve got the performance mods already so it’s different for you. (Plus it’s your car anyway) so go for the cool lights. my STI is completely stock other than wheels, tires, suspension, aero and interior bits. Next is stage two parts and e-tune. But I have a daughter to raise and wife that’s not into cars. And a mortgage that’s not into cars lol. So it’s hard to justify the spending. Especially with what’s going on in the world right now. So it’s on the wait list.
MAPerformance screwed my order up of my Downpipe, CatBack,Cobb AP and intake. They said my downpipe was not compatible with my 2017 STI. I sent back the downpipe but they could not swap it out with another downpipe because I used Affirm. After doing WAY more research I realized that the downpipe I had ordered were compatible with my car. I argued with them to send it back but they kept trying to convince me that it wasn't compatible, I got frustrated and just gave up. Long story short, they really put my build on hold for months and months. I understand many many people are buying because of stimulus, but they are overloaded and their quality of customer service SUCKS! I will NOT be shopping with them anymore. Subiespeed and Rallysport Direct from now on. Sorry to hear they are screwing your order up and putting your build on hold as well.
Its always annoying to deal with, id order through someone else but got a decent deal and for a custom turbo set up I have limited options to buy from 🙃
When you start building and need very specific parts like you do the options are limited. I feel your pain and hope it comes quick or time flys for you. This is my absolute favorite STI channel and your content is high quality and very informative. Keep up the good work!
Hey Smeedia, so my ‘15 STi I bought used and it has a Diode Dynamics box installed (Shitty Wire Management) I’m trying to either replace the LED bulb or just buy a new headlight kit. With these Subispeed headlights you got rid of the diode dynamics box completely ? If there is one thing I am really shitty at, it’s electrical work
@@Smeedia well that’s good to know and thank you for the reply but for now I’m trying to find a replacement LED for the OEM headlights. Subaru won’t tell me because they want me to buy an entire headlight assembly for $870/side
My first video i've seen from your channel and I subbed! Can you tell me which wheels are those? I have an ISM 15' and i think the white will look sick
You have me wanting to get this before doing a 18 bumper conversion. I want the v2 redline since my car is red. But i am also installing my APR GTC 300 today wish me luck!
Gotta love opening up new parts! Those headlights are my grail headlights but $1500 idk haha i like the ones with the redline and seq indicators Smeedia" Generally when you buy from Subispeed anything you buy usually comes with a rats nest of wiring "
Hey man, love the lights. On my 2016 STI I'd really like to get that LED light strip for the bezel...do you happen to have a link to where you got yours?
www.rallysportdirect.com/part/light-mounting-and-hardware/vajdmfogbezel-kit-sti-jdm-front-fog-light-bezel-kit-w-led-liners A little pricey but I love them!
@@Smeedia I decided to go full cf and the wait time on it getting made and being shipped was supposed to be 1 month but due to the crisis, the shipment got delayed. They're pretty helpful on turns Haha
Been on the fence with these forever. Curious as to how the light output/cut-off is during night time. Factory high beams are just terrible on our cars and hoping these make a huge difference
Yeah look dope man. Would love to grab some aftermarket lights but still digging the steering responsive ones on the 18+ sti. And yes, those fortunes are gorgeous! Almost didn't want to install them.
I love the wingless look!
Thank-you! I can't get enough of it 😁
@@Smeedia I've always been a bit turned off towards the STI for their wing selection alone lol
I do like what you did when it blinks white/orange thats sweet 👀🙌🏼
Its a little diffrent than every other set for how its wired but definitely looks more aggresive 😁😁
Smeedia hell yeah man keep doing your thang 🔥
Like the multiple color turn signal lights. But I have a 2011 wrx and don’t get the nice selection.
Ive seen a few of them out there, custom is always a good route as well 🔥
This shit is addictive and I don’t even have a STI. Yet. 😤
Haha it gets worse the more you do 😅
Oh yea bro , you been working hard all year we see you
Eyyy, appreciate it my man doing what i can 😁
@@Smeedia we enjoy all ur content
Your wrapping your sti black and white cammo? 😮
Maybe 🤫😉
fortune 500...silvers coils..same same
Don't they make some components for silver also?
@@Smeedia from how i understood it.. silvers and fortune auto parts are made in the same factory. fortune auto just paints them all pretty and calls them custom made. its really not that case. and Silvers USA headquarters is literally 10 mins from my house here in Florida. i may have heard all that info from the horses mouth. (wink wink) but either way both work great
Fortune is made in Virginia i beilive, one of the eastern states but there's been a few videos on them manufacturering them 😁
Been debating getting these for awhile
I like them, never really considered them but theyrr bright st night and look pretty good
Looks good man! Is there anyway you could do a more detailed video about the wiring part of the headlights? I suck at wiring and don’t know to crimp wires or do anything of that nature
Yes I can, snagging another set of these in a week or two so I got you 💪
@@Smeedia thank you!!!😩
Yoooooo...taaannneerrr, you lucky SOB I've been trying to get those headlights for months, it looks awesome
They happen to have them laying around and thought I would give them a try. I'm really digging the euro style lights 😍
Yeah the Euro ones have the silver reflector on the side instead of the orange one, legal r not where I'm at..if I found em I was getting em.
I like the silver, and i highly doubt you'll ever get cited for it 😅
If you want the smoked indicators for the bumper I'll send that shit to you big bro, I should still have the pair.
I just got the subispeed v2 redline headlights installed. They are beautiful! Welcome to the club! Haha
I liked the V2s but they don't go with anything on my set up 😅
Smeedia Yeah, I use red as my accent color on my car and the v2s were a perfect match. The v1s are still very nice though!
I’ll find it 😎
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey since you tapped that blue wire Into the turn signal does that mean that the drls don’t come on? Kind of lost on that one.
Never wired then for DRLs, you can I just chose not too
Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Great vídeo. Someday I’ll get the Fortunes on my STI too. Looking forward to the next one.
Happy 4th! And theyre worth it when the time comes! 😍
Smeedia thanks! gotta recover funds from all the brakes and 30k maintenance stuff I just ordered and all the tools I needed too.
Holy hell $1k headlights ?!?!
Ain't the cheapest lol bought them impulsively lol
Looks damn good tho🤘
Thank you 🙏
I love how that 15-35 looks!
Thanks my man! Only lens I really use. Definitely hurt the wallet to get though 😅
You shoot cannon as well right?
I’ve given up with buying Subiespeed products. All the things Ive bought haven’t lasted long at all.
This is the first I've bought but I'm the same way with their company, only reason I got them is because I know how to repair them if they leak or fail
Smeedia now that I think of it, I haven’t seen a video of which companies are best to buy from for Subie aftermarket products. I’m sure it’s a preference thing but I only know a few. I’m sure there are a lot more. Maybe like a top 5 most popular? Anyways... good luck with the headlights! ✌🏼
I got you 😉
ruclips.net/video/23bysHoZpg0/видео.html
These are honestly one of my favorite headlights for the WRX/STI. 🙌🏼
Thru look good! Just hoping the QC holds up on them!!
@@Smeedia how are they doing man. Is it worth to buy
Like#7 👀 looks sick af
Eyyyyyy, thank you my man! 😁😁😁
Awesome video mate.very neat coil overs man oh yeah. And the lights actually look beast good going.
Can't wait to get the coils on the car! And thank you 😁😁😁
I hope the BR-Z is alright. They're sweet little cars 😎
Hoping to have it back here soon 💔
Smeedia On a lighter note, the Fortune Autos remind me of a really Boujee set of Teins, which is not a bad thing, I think.
😅😅😅 your not wrong!
Looks really nice! Subispeed stuff is hit or miss. Happy 4th, friend
Very hit or miss 😅 luckily I can fix them if they do leak. Happy 4th my friend!
I never had tail or headlight that didnt leak on any type of vehicle i had
Same, but figured I can reseal them if I need to
I know this is old video but what wire did u connect the headlights to fir the turn signal
Blue wire on the cars harness that goes to the turn signal 🙏
I like them, I was gonna get those but I went with the v2
My buddy got the V2s and they look nice but don't go with thr flow of my car 😅
Smeedia it’s understandable, your build is yours . I like mine to be different from others so i understand
Thanks for making these videos again! How can we connect for the viewer ride before I stage 2 my sti ha ha.
Viewer Ride? You've lost me lol 😅
@@Smeedia Ah, I had asked before if you give rides to people local to you ha ha.
Ah! Yessir on the upxomong canyon run I'm trying to organize id be down 😁
Where are you hosting the event info? Ill be stage 2 by then but I'd still appreciate a ride in a 400hp sti!
Gling to be up in carbanato 😁
Great content like how informative all your videos are, and my car has quite a bit of SS products on them.
Thank you! And aome are better than others from their site 😅
Sold my Subispeed headlights just the other day...
Hopefully you got some money back on them 😁
I really want to get the tinted version of them and I've been using many of subispeed stuff
My buddy is using thise ones, not a huge fan of them after seeing them in person. Theyre a little dark for me. But they do look good!
The v2’s aren’t smoked/tinted, just blacked out inner housing which makes them amazing!
Laszlo and that’s why I want them!😍 but besides the looks, what makes the V2 diff from V1?
I’m not a true expert on the difference. If I recall correctly, V2s are brighter and have the sequential C lights as the turn signal instead of the inner vertical bars in the V1. I am having some flickering issues with my V2s right now but they look great.
I've been watching on and off for a while but i think he should do a video of whats all done to the sti
I made that video but need to do an updated one 😅
@@Smeedia definitely after the wrap
Love the headlights. Also like the idea for the DRL to flash for the signal. Might need to buy me a set now.
I'm digging them, hoping that they don't leak but if they do at least I can fix them 😅
@@Smeedia did you snag them from TMG? I just looked on their site and they are gone now. Guess I'll have to get em direct from subispeed.
Yes I did, it was the last set in their inventory 😅 they might be able to get better pricing if you shoot them a message 🔥
How are these holding up by chance a year later? Debating on buying them and also thinking between V1 or V2
Sold thrm a few months after so unfortunately not sure 😭
They are cool, but I’m not a fan of the square side profile. I would rock the V2 tail lights but when it comes to spending $600 on my car, there’s a lot of other things I’d spend it on before tail lights.
Totally agree, ive gotten the car to the point where I've done enough where I feel okay about spending a few hundred on some exterior mods
Smeedia yeah man, In your case you’ve got the performance mods already so it’s different for you. (Plus it’s your car anyway) so go for the cool lights. my STI is completely stock other than wheels, tires, suspension, aero and interior bits. Next is stage two parts and e-tune. But I have a daughter to raise and wife that’s not into cars. And a mortgage that’s not into cars lol. So it’s hard to justify the spending. Especially with what’s going on in the world right now. So it’s on the wait list.
You know what would make it look more aggressive?? A big wing
Like the one we just took off? 😅
Smeedia those lights look good. I got some similar from LMPerformance. They are Spyder type
My STi got hit by a huge deer last night 😭
😢😢😢😢 hopefully it gets repaired quick and your alright!
Hey dude I noticed all the license plates in the background I got a couple Wisconsin plates of you want them!!
Totally! I'll hang them up if you wanna send em over 😁

yoo dude looks sick! how is a brightness compared to your stock lights? iv heard the high beams are weaker, what do you think?
I would say the highs are about 20% brighter than the OEM ones 😁

Damn I wish they did the with the wrx hahah
Agreed!!
Love the new headlights!!! Thank you for stopping by
Thanks for taking my money 😘😅 haha
Looks really good!! How good is the low beam/high beam output? Better then stock?
Its about the same as my OEM Limited headlights but the highs are definitely brighter, I'd say by at least 20%
Dude its been a warzone of fireworks lol, these were exactly the style headlight ive been thinking of for my 09.
Haha its been nuts! And I'm digging them, do they make them for the older models?
Different company makes some alot like these circuit demon.. they are pricy though
I can build the circuit demon headlights, just need their parts 😅
Smeedia well then when the wife gives the ok. Ill come over order the parts and have you build them! Lol maybe soon as im still pullin 60+ hrs a week
What you gunna do with the stock headlights
Prob gling to end up keeping them 😅
@@Smeedia that's it always keep the parts u take off👍 that way if u sell it the buyer can take it back to stock looking plus always got spare parts
What exhaust do you have?
ETS Extreme 🔥
Dude! I got 510’s on the STI. Love em! U won’t be disappointed.
Those headlights are cool but I heard they have condensate issues so watch out.
Oh yeah, if they do leak I can fix them in about an hour or so, and if they do leak I'm gling to retrofit the subiespeed headlights also 😅
Gotta love opening up new parts! Those headlights are my grail headlights but $1500 idk haha i like the ones with the redline and seq indicators
Smeedia" Generally when you buy from Subispeed anything you buy usually comes with a rats nest of wiring "
SO MANY WIRES WITH EVERYTHING, I think I got these for like $800 or so, much cheaper than the V2 reclines 😅
How do you remove your front bumper so fast? What don't you have on the under bumper? Thanks
No under tray, 2 bolts that mount my aplitter to the chassis and thr upper bolts and fender clips 😁

18+ bumper time!
Been debating it 🤔

😔When you beggin someone to make ones for 18+ stis with the Steering headlights thing. I also have to wait an extra month for my front bumper haha.
Why thr extra wait?! And you've got thr fancy headlightd with the adaptive steering 😍🔥
@@Smeedia I decided to go full cf and the wait time on it getting made and being shipped was supposed to be 1 month but due to the crisis, the shipment got delayed.

I was mad when I saw the V2s weren’t for responsive headlights.
Did you do a vid for the front spoiler you got on? What is it?
Yes, super old video from like a year ago but its an APR Splitter and front lip
This makes me wanna get fortunes for my ST....haha
Do it 😈😈😈
Gonna have to now. Haha
its gonna be purple is it ?
🤫🤫🤫
Looks great, but if you do have issues with them you’ll definitely have to do a video on how to fix the problem.
Happy 4th stay safe my man
😎👍🏻👍🏻
Definitely will! And just hanging out at home getting some work done tonight 😅
Been on the fence with these forever. Curious as to how the light output/cut-off is during night time. Factory high beams are just terrible on our cars and hoping these make a huge difference
After having them in, the light output is similar to the OEM ones, not a huge improvement but they are a tad brighter
headlights from a mustang?
Lol would be a cool swap, theyre an older set from subiespeed
Very nice, look amazing with the color of the wheels and the whole car, however, they will leak like the Titanic. lmao.
Lmao your not wrong 🤣 ive already got extra sealant here so I can open them and re seal them
Yeah look dope man. Would love to grab some aftermarket lights but still digging the steering responsive ones on the 18+ sti.
And yes, those fortunes are gorgeous! Almost didn't want to install them.
