trying to find some new headlights for my xB and stumbled across these on ebay, I think they look cool.

Anyone know if they'll fit my car, anyone had them before? What do you guys recommend for headlights on the 06 xBs? The parts section doesn't have a set they really stand by.

they should fit. i think dwatts5250 has them in chrome.

I just don't want to buy these and find that I can't install them.

 

installation is a breeze, just take off the front bumper. your chances with fitment on these is about the same as any other aftermarket headlight, save ichikoh, of course.

did you check dwatts? maybe he has some input for ya?

 

Are you asking because they don't specifically say 2006? Pretty sure the lights have not changed between the model years. I'm also pretty sure you need amber reflectors for them to be DOT legal. Check the forums- many people have fogging or brightness/pattern problems with their aftermarket lights. Not that it should stop you from doing it, just know what you could be getting into.

 

what so many people complain of having trouble with seeing with these?

I figured these would look better in nighttime conditions.

 

true - stock headlights are the same across model years

true - aftermarket headlights are more prone to fogging, and savvy buyers/owners reseal them before installation.

true- aftermarket headlights are commonly plagued with pattern complaints

these particular headlights are not the most prevalent among owners that I am aware of. the most common are the 'LED' (3 leds under the turn signal) and the 'sonar' (devoid of front cover)

I'm not understanding this:
however, I'm getting the impression that you are deliberating far too painfully over this. It's no different than any other ebay purchase - you are buying something sight unseen, and must make your own judgement via ebay due diligence.

what I am saying is that i can't tell you to buy them. would i buy them? yes, if i were in the market for headlights, these would top my list.
