Default Calling all xB2 owners need some input

For those that know of my Gen 1 xB know that I ROCK the Varad Vision LED lighting on my xB and promote for them with my "Toy xBox" Scion.

Well I am happy to announce that Varad Vision is looking for feedback on producing full replacement pieces for the Scion xB2. You know the look here is my photochop of what we talked about something that those high-end Euro cars are sporting now….

So all you xB2 owners here is your chance to work with Varad Vision and get some direct replacement pieces designed for your Scion xB2….

cool idea, but how much light would they put out? also what about the people with the TRD vent? I know this wouldnt be for everyone, I guess what Im saying is make it functional to make it worth while for varad and everyone else.

If you look at my avatar those four spots under the front lip are 1 watt lights and from what we talked about it may be based on those just a newer design on the LED. They are going for that defining look of the Euro cars so it will be bright Also check out this thread on my xB 1watt emmiters are super bright https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...244&highlight=

We talked about the TRD use of the drivers side vent they will have to look at it and see if it can be done. But this is more for the stock parts to be replaced.

Thanks for the input this is what Varad needs to hear

make them with the proper reflecting plastic like the real euro cars get, and not just LED's or Bulbs shining and its a legit product, if they come out cheap, they will be really cheap.

this is good







this is not



I would like to see a set that goes horizontal, I'll try to shop something up right now for example

that first pic is where I got the pieces to do my photochop LOL. But yeah the guys at Varad know exactly the look and proper optics needed from what info I was given. The goal is they want to get the same and/or better appearance in something that will be much like a factory OEM style replacement piece as well as something Scion owners could also afford.

Keep it coming good feedback

I was trying to figure out to do it on my own with LED's. I am waiting to see if this was possible before getting OEM fog lights and was starting to give in, but if these come out for a good price I would really be interested. 5 axis design is not coming out with their lights I heard. So keep us updated if these are going to happen.

I like the horizontal option because I'm getting TRD vents. Make it happen!

I dunno. Given the way the xB is shaped in the front I really don't like the vertical strip and I'm only so so on the horizontal one. It just seems awfully extraneous to me.

The look of the mockup by VonStarINC looks very good. The vertical strips are ok, but whats in the picture looks very nice

i like it the idea but it just makes the car looks too euro "vw/audi" especially when you get the mid bumper black and slap a shark fin it'll end up more of a euro than a jap but who really cares anyway i don't coz i just got the vg shark fin on this morning.
it'll be nice if you could make it looks like a factory option instead of some ebay poop and please make it vertical and compatible w/rs5

only a horizontal version would be even remotely compatible with the kenstyle lip, you're probably going to be out of luck here, or need heavy modification to make it work (which Is my favorite ;D as you can see)

nothing wrong with euro style!
