Has any body found any after market head light or tail light kits for the XD.

I am looking for the projector led black out style for my RS 1.

The xD is still so new that part makers aren't sure if the xD is going to be worth making parts for, like the xA. There isn't a whole lot of parts out for the xA when compared to the tC and xB.

If you want projector headlights, you'll probably going to have to retrofit them in there. Or find makers that make good parts for Scions and beg them to start making parts :) Then get the rest of us to chime in as well.

yeah, any luck you have will be news to most of us...if you really want, you can import iSt modellista head lights...theyre smoked chrome + cleared...theyre hot but you gotta know where to import em from..i would..but its expensive...other than that youre only luck will be some 3M film to tint your heads or tails, whichever you wanted to do...sry i dont have a better answer for you..

if youre looking for a nicer light for now, sylvanias are your best bet for the money....theres also a thread on swapping your parking lights with LEDs, ive done it and it looks hot imo. well..thats my long winded answer..best of luck!! hope something i said helped. haha

I bet they won't be projectors... but if they are, I definitely want details.

HIDs shuold always be projectors...otherwise thats just blinding and its scattered...which kind of screws the point...but oh well. sounds good, hope to get some nice pictures!

Ok well I asked my buddy about the projectors. He definetely does them for other cars. And since xDs are so rare he hasnt done them on an xD yet. So i'm gonna bring my car to him some time within the next week or so and put some in. And ill keep you guys updated. I'll put up tons of pictures.

False
I have HID's in my xD and have a nice clean cut off that does not blind anyone

They hold the good cut-off that we have with halogens? That's amazing....is it just as good or is it worse? I'm definitely going to eventually get HIDs now. :D

ehhhhhhhhhhh....never liked the TYC's out for tC/xB..and as i suspected, i dont like these. i do like the idea of he fully clear lense though...thats pretty cool haha

Yea, I thought the tC TYC would have looked great if they left out the amber.

On the xD, I'd color match the bottom half of the tail lamp and only have the stop lamp portion show through. That would look very nice. I'm hoping to do that next month when we get some funds to add more stuff.

i just wish the stock tails came completely redded out..the big translucent circle just doesnt do it for me haha, and i wouldnt mind tinting my tails but cali police can be strict -_-...
