Wow.. thats the first time I've seen anyone make a headlight for the xA. They look like someone cleared and painted the stock headlights.. You could pretty much do that by baking your headlights and taking them apart. The amber lens comes out and you could tape off the heads.. save yourself $230.00.. but thats just my two cents.. I had mine done exactly like that... then my husband rolled it.. weeeee...

yeah, I did the bake thing too. I just wanted to know if anyone has these, just to see different angles and what not. But like you mention, it just 04/05 spray painted. You would think they would take the time and make HID ones for the xA. Guess it's cheaper to take the housing off and spray it with black instead. *sigh*

You could learn how to retrofit your headlight with OEM projector from Lexus, BMW, etc. or you can get the morimoto mini from theretrofitsource.com $120 shipped (or $75 slightly imperfection). The morimoto is simple to do. It is just an extra set after you bake apart your headlight. Their is an adapter plate to help with the rotational alignment and you use the stock adjuster for the up/down. It is not the best projector but with it you can ad a H.I.D. kit and have the flicker and H.I.D. without the glare.

retro fitting is such a hassle. But that is not what this was about. I wanted to see if anyone bought these and/or get an opinion on them. I think they look cool, but one can easily do that, and start a retro fit project cheaply then to buy these. I do like the clear corner signal than the amber one. That's what caught my eyes.
