Those look really nice on the RS! How is the beam pattern on those? Is there a lot of cast-off above the cutoff, and how is the cutoff?

I think they look pretty nice, for aftermarket. I think i'd consider them if the beam pattern/light output is good. I'm just worried that they won't be nearly as good as OEM. I also don't want to have to bake headlights again to mess with squirrel finders. lol.

Any feedback you can give up would be cool. Thanks!

I dont think is really downgrading.It a little brighter.Plus LED are super bright.You get more visibility with this.

hmm....
Well sorry I'm not a fan either.
I now think the LED's make the car look a little... girly?
I used to want similar head lights for my tC, but where the LEDs are on the bottom. People here on ScionLife warned me against the LED's burning out quickly and the head lights fogging up.

Let us know if that happens with the xB's.

Ill keep you guys posted.Thats why i bought them, not afraid of trying different stuff on car, if it dosen't work or look good then my lost.If they start to fog or led goes i can allways go back to stock or disconnect the led.Today was acctually cold in the morning and first thing i did was check for fog or condisation inside the headlight and so far so good.

looks good but i worry about the quality like many others.
how is the fitment? same as stock
i've notice the close up pic of the headlights, the projector lens seems to be clear. is it clear or is it like the stock having a golf ball look to it?
it'll be great if you post a 3/4 front showing the whole car.

Man the more and more I see these lights the more I'm diggin them. Any way you could get a pic of the cut off? I already have hids and if the cut off isn't great I don't want to blind people.

Go pressure wash your car and see if you have fog. Make sure you spray the lights directly and into the grilles and wheel wells. Thats a good test.
