Hi from Puerto Rico ! Im planing to buy a 8K HID kit for my 04 Xb from a friend store $270.The thing is that im worried about the life of the bulbs cause i have the OEM alarm and every time i lock and unlock the lights come on.So my question is
Is there a way to turn that feature off? .Thanks for the help.(I think there is a tread on this but i havent founded yet).

 

$270? HID kits can be bought on here for $160... Anyways I dont have an XB but I installed Scion Security on my TC and there should be a relay and a fuse. Just remove the fuse.

 

$160 + Ship to Puerto Rico = $200 + tax = $200 + .Thanks niran196 for the pricing info.So if someone whit a Xb can tell me were that fuse is.Thanks again

 

Yhe only lights that flash on mine are the parking lights (not the headlights) so if that is the case you should have "No Problem"

 

Mine too flashes but the headlights also turns on like for a minute if i lock or unlock the wagon.That's the reason Im worried about the life of the bulbs those thing are not cheap .Thanks for replaying Rocket.

 

im hoping to get a 8k kit as well. what company? also, the bulbs should be fine, its just a quick flash, so unless you sit there for hours clicking it on and off every day i wouldnt see any issues. yet it technically would die sooner, but i dont think it would make too much of a difference. and clearly your dealer installed a non-scion alarm, without telling you. my school teacher had the same thing; his beeps when he unlocks/locks.... weird.....

 

Thank for the info Fuzzy my alarm beebs too, one beeb for lock, twice for unloock and three if i lock whit any entrance of the wagon open even whit all doors and trunk closed and only the hood open. So this is not an OEM alarm for Scion Xb? . So is there a way to turn off that feature of the headlights coming on. How can I upload the scan images of the security book that came whit the wagon?[/table]

 

Without knowing what alarm system you have - it's impossible to answer your question..

BTW, it's not the bulbs I would be worried about but the ballasts (since they are what gives the bulbs power)

$270 for bulbs is very expensive unless it's Bi-Xenon, their are vendors here on SL that sell cheaper and would probably ship to you

It's recommended that you use a fuse w/ the HIDs to avoid issues w/ your stock wiring harness even though technically there should be nothing to worry with as they draw less power then the OEM halogens.

I would recommend the aero & exterior forum for numerous threads about HIDs and possibly messaging the vendors here on SL w/ questions (their websites have tons of information)
