Interior Lights
I picked up my xB few weeks ago and I love it.
Did not like the taillights and replaced them.
Next week I am getting a sunroof installed. Hollandia 790.
Any experiences?
I am also considering adding another interior light since the center mounted factory light is well too dim. Any recommendations? Anything that would match the look?
Thanks

....Why, Yes...
Show us a picture of the tails that you installed.
Yes, light mods are documented here on Scion Life.
Dome light added in rear or front work off the factory dome light.
I don't have a link handy, but if you SEARCH the interior section for LIGHT or DOME, you can start the reasearch. There is a Do-IT-Yourself thread to add an overhead console with map lights, sun glass holder with matching color. It's a toyota part for a RAV4 or Sienna.

For $100 more the 740 has a tiny automatic wind deflector and automatic controls with memory and rain sensor - your 790 has those no doubt. The 640 and 740 are about 35x19, while your 790 is 39x19. You will want a bubble deflector for driving over 50 mph. The stretched "floating" headliner will flutter without it. I think the OEM clip-on type deflector from your Webasto dealer is better than the 3M stick-on deflectors which look cheap and can't be removed.
A cheap solution to more lights -- Sylvania Dot-It LED stick-ons. I put a silver one over the mirror and two black ones on the trunk sides. A 3-pack is only $18:

The sunroof installer told me that they prepared the light for me. I am going to Portland next Friday.

The other kind of deflector is a low strip that rises on a linkage when the sunroof is retracted. They are so small that you don't notice them unless you know what to look for.
