I have seen a couple people do this already with different lights in the vents like that.

My perspective is it really messes up the body lines and flow of the xb. Almost all the body lines are goiing from front to back and with the lights being vertical it disrupts the pattern. This is one reason why I hate the rear tail lights as well. I think the tail lights and the entire rear of the car would look really good with tail lights that go horizontal than vertical. I was thinking the other day after seeing a Mazda 3 go by me, the tail lights off of a Mazda 3 would look A LOT better than the stock tail lights on our xB in my opinion.

But I never down talk about anyone and their efforts on customizing their ride. Especially if they did the work themself. So good job on that, it's not my style but who cares cuz its not my car so there you go.

Keep up the good work

I like them, but more rows of them would look alot better, minimum of 3.
When your done with them, you can send them my way.
