Be sure to read all the way through.
Seriously look at the 6000k or 4300k Mobile HID kits if you want white brighter/ better lighting.

i upgraded to HID's. (MobileHID.com or PM Cliffud)
The bulb numbers are 4 digits, not 5. Lowbeam headlights for the '08 xB are 9005 or H11.
i have all the bulb numbers for the '08 xB so if you need to know, PM me and i will be more than happy to help out.

Hey xhrhx15x, I just upgraded to HID's myself. Did you find it to be a problem to get the bulbs to fit? I did. The base of the bulb was a hair bigger then the hole in the housing. I had to use a dremmel tool to make the hole a little bigger. I dealt with this same problem on my last car. I bought aftermarket projectors for it and found that the hole was a tiny bit too small for the bulb. But my XB looks so much better with the HID set up

HID's on the high beam? Correct me if I'm wrong but don't HID's need some time to "warm up"? Being that high's are usually used to flash is that a good application? I believe that would also be quite blinding to on comers no?

Oops. i just read what i wrote. I didn't mean that I was gonna upgrade the high beams to HID. I'm prolly gonna get some silverstars for the fogs and the high beams.
