Wow, they look better then I though they would! Can you post a pic of the light on a white wall? From the drivers seat, one where your car is about 3 feet away, and onw where it is about 10 ffet away.

edit: I almost forgot. How difficult was it wiring it up? I'm stupid when it comes to this part....

Just got mine today and got them installed. I have not had the time to hook up the LED's, so much for being plug and play. From looking at them in the garage the low beams look low, maybe too low. I will see what they look like tonight. The mold is not great and you have to trim them to get the bumper cover back in the correct spot. Anyway I posted some pics for all to see

Why did you break the end piece off. You shouldn't have done that

Nothing broken, couldn't have gotten to that piece if I tried. It is just a set back in the trim that didn't show up well in the pic. I just hooked up the LED's on one side and it looks really sweet. I found on both units that the little tab on the side of the housing that the bumper cover slips into is too long. You have to trim it slightly to get the cover back in position. You can't see it, it is totally covered by the bumper cover.

Yeah I see it now. I didn't really see it at first. I'll have mine fully operational by tomorrow night with the HID's lights installed in the low beams

How are they for driving compared to the stock lights?Do they cover the road like the stock lights or do they project out farther :?:

The low beams are no where near as bright as the old ones, the high beams shoot a circle beam that is lighting up the road for over 1/2 mile. I want to look at changing the low beam but I am concerned that the pattern may be a bit wild and it might be safer to stick with what they came with. It is bright enough to see but it is sort of like driving a 70's car.

I was going to hook the LED's to the parking light circuit but I think the blinking LED's may get me in trouble. Now I am thinking of using the fog light wiring, do the fog lights work with the key off? Munch, I am really interested in knowing how the HID's work out.

The wiring is not bad. I think they left the halos and LEDs seperate so you could wire them where you want to. Personally, I wired them to the parking lights.
Also, I did not have to trim anything, I just had to flex the bumper a bit to get it up under the lights.
I think the bulb for the main lights might have to be replaced as it is a little dimmer than I would like.
The LED's do not blink.
If anyone has any other questiond, I will try to answer them the best i can.

they look great. I drive like 100 miles a day in the dusk/dark so I wouldn't be able to take the lower light output.. but man, they're pretty.

Wow, those make a difference.

Is that a reflector between the high beam and grille?

Maybe its time to switch the low beam bulb to something a bit brighter.

Sol, what I meant about the LED's blinking is when you hit the turn signal. I am not sure the cops will like to see the halo's and the 3 dots blinking in white every time you turn. I should be able to get some side by side shots tonight to compare the old and new. I will add them to the ones I posted last night http://my68chevelle.com/scion_pics.htm

There is a reflector on the edge next to the grille
