OLM F1 NB+R V2 (Clear Lens, Gloss Black Base, Red Bar) – 2015-2020 WRX / STI

Part Details:

The OLM F1 NB+R V2 Rear Brake Light is the second generation of OLM’s popular F1-style rear lamp, designed for the 2015–2021 Subaru WRX and STI. Building on the original NB+R, the V2 refines the design while keeping the same core functionality — a low-mounted rear fog light, 4th brake light, and reverse light in one clean unit.

The clear lens maximizes light output for improved visibility, while the gloss black base and red bar deliver a bold, high-contrast look that pairs well with red-accented or aggressive builds.

The lamp offers two brake functions and two reverse functions. For brake mode, choose between strobing (which then goes solid when held) or solid only. For reverse mode, choose between strobing and solid. Both are switchable from the driver’s seat with no wiring required. A plug and play harness is included for a clean, no-cut installation.

Important Note: The included plug and play harness is not compatible with the Subaru Crosstrek. A separate harness (OLMF1PNPSS-XV) is required for Crosstrek fitment.

Why Choose the OLM F1 NB+R V2?

The V2 improves on an already popular design with refined fitment and updated styling. It’s one of the most common first lighting mods for WRX and STI owners looking for a JDM-inspired look with a straightforward plug and play install.

FAQs

What is the difference between the NB+R and the NB+R V2?

The V2 is the updated second generation of the original NB+R lamp. It features a refined design, improved fitment, and two selectable modes for both the brake and reverse functions.

How do I switch between brake modes?

Hold the brake down and cycle your lights all the way on and off 3 times in a row. This toggles between strobing then solid, and solid only.

How do I switch between reverse modes?

Shift into reverse and cycle your lights all the way on and off 3 times in a row. This toggles between strobing and solid reverse light.

Is this plug and play or do I need to tap wires?

This lamp includes a plug and play harness that connects directly to your factory taillight wiring with no wire tapping required.

What is the difference between this and the smoke lens version?

The only difference is the lens color. The clear lens with red bar delivers maximum light output and a bold, high-contrast look. The smoke lens with white bar offers a darker, more subtle appearance. Both share the same fitment, installation process, and functionality.
