Default aftermarket headlights for an 06 xA

Ok so I had a recent encounter with a deer and banged up my baby. Not too bad just needs new headlights, bumper, grill, and the driver side fender needs to get banged back a little bit. What I wanted to do was see if I could find a pair of Halo or Angeleye headlights to drop in there but cant seem to find any. I find tons for the xD, tC and xB but none for the xA.

I have heard from a couple friends that managed to get their insurance to spring for a couple aftermarket parts when they were cheaper then OEM and wanted to try this myself. Any ideas would be great as im hitting dead ends wherever I go.

Did a search and didnt find anyone posting about this. FYI I am new to the site as well.

why is it that the xA seems to get no love in the modding and tuning department but the xB, tC and xD have tons of parts available? So much potential from the xA and I would love to have the options to do stuff to mine, i.e. tubrbo, halo headlights, led taillights, etc.

I agree with you Maqariz thats why us xa owners are more creative because we dig deep and mod our stock parts lol i had yellow film over my lights but now im gonna open them up and paint the inside of my headlights chrome black and hook up some hids with led blinkers and for the tail lights i own a 2005 xa im gonna buy the 06 tail lights and open them up and see what creative ideas i can come up with. buying aftermarket parts is great and all but you loose in orginallity because any one can swipe a card

I have an '04. For the record the XA does not go very fast even with all the performance parts on it in comparison to the XB or XD. personally I'm f'n ____ed I'll never see a newer XA on the road.

the xa wasnt built for speed it was built to be sporty looking and economical its a car of looks if you want power u should have got the tc or a supra or something meant to go fast i am ____ed that stopped making the xa but we have the classic scions in the long run. A car of expression of indivuallity<bad speller lol

Think about that one. The xA is the lowest selling Scion. Why would you make aftermarket parts for an xA when you'll make 2 or more times as much money by making them for the tC? It cost money to design, test, and market the products also which means after all that they might not even make a profit on parts. Besides, the average buyers age when I got mine was around 35 years old, not many people that old modify cars.
