JDM Headlight Question
I've been through alot of posts but the more I read, the more i get confused. At first, I was interested in the JDM Toyota Bb headlights. Now when I am finally ready to purchase it, I am finding new forums about gen-1 and gen-2 JDM Bb headlights. So my quetion is: What is the difference between the two and do any of you have pics to show either of the two headlights from front, sides, and back?
Secondly, I have a Dual Beam HID kit which allows me to utilize an HID bulb but has a ballast that switches that one bulb from low beam to high beam rather than running on highs all the time. On my original headlight assembly that i have on my '05 xb right now, it overheated and blacked out a part (only the top part above the bulb) of the chrome reflector inside the headlight assembly. I am wondering if i will have the same issue if i replaced that headlight assembly with a JDM style?
I would appreciate any and all help i can get also if you can lead me to any places/websites that i can get the headlights for a decent price?

your gen1 bb headlights are going to look like this

The second gen headlights look like our USDM headlights in our scions so i dont know why anyone would really want a set of them..
i cant answer your other problems because i have not heard of that problem before...
i have seen the gen1 bb headlights on ebay they run about $300 or so, you can find them on here sometimes and on the other xB sites???
