OLM NB+R F1 Rear Brake Light Smoke Lens, Gloss Black Base, Red Bar 2015-2021 WRX / STI | Plug & Play Harness | Rear Brake & Fog Light
Overview
The OLM NB+R F1 Rear Brake Light is a stylish and functional upgrade designed specifically for the 2015-2021 Subaru WRX and WRX STI, with compatibility extending to the 2013+ Crosstrek (harness sold separately). This lamp combines a rear brake light, rear fog light, and a unique F1-style blinking reverse light into one compact unit, enhancing both safety and aesthetics. It’s perfect for Subaru enthusiasts looking to improve rear visibility while adding a distinctive OEM+ look to their vehicle’s exterior lighting.
Engineered with precision, the OLM NB+R lamp features a gloss black base with a smoked lens and a vibrant red bar that mimics the iconic F1 brake light style. The design philosophy centers on blending JDM-inspired functionality with USDM fitment, delivering a plug-and-play solution that requires no wire tapping thanks to the included harness (for WRX/STI). This approach ensures a clean installation and preserves factory wiring integrity, a key consideration for Subaru owners who value both performance and reliability.
Beyond its visual appeal, this rear brake light assembly offers practical benefits for Subaru drivers. The low-mounted rear fog light improves visibility in adverse weather conditions, a feature often missing on USDM models compared to their JDM counterparts. Additionally, the blinking reverse light feature provides an extra layer of safety by alerting others when you’re backing up, with an easy driver-controlled option to switch to a steady reverse light. This combination of style and function makes the OLM NB+R an excellent upgrade for WRX and STI owners who want to stand out while driving safely.
