I have alot of work to go.. but not bad for my first week.

 

nice!

 

Huh?

 

dealer had a pinstripe on it. i didnt like it so i removed it when i got home.

 

what bulbs did you by for the license plate. I know the size, trying to find the best bright white bulb.

 

those are the 5led wedge bulbs. the single 194 led bulbs were a joke. So get the 5's. The reverse light is uber weak.. i found a SUPER SUPER white bulb for it but its 25 bucks for a reverse light... gotta think about it some more.. i might try to relocate the reverse light anyway... but i got most of my bulbs from super bright leds.com

 

why brighten the plate for photo radar to snap picture, maybe dimm it here in AZ with all the photo radar everywhere, just kidding !

 

whats was the exact bulbs that you used (like number)

 

A pinstripe on an xB. Now THAT I would like to see pics of.

 

So do dealers just pinstripe them here and there? Like the stripe that comes on a roll at the auto store?

I guess I'm lucky enough to live in an area where the scion dealer was pretty much clueless about scions all together, they dont sell very well in town I guess.

Hence my ridiculous amount of questions because every time I ask the people at the dealership they give me a blank stare and say "I dont know?"

 

well it was a vinyl pinstripe.. that started as a single, went into 2 stripes and back into one at the end. i didnt take any pictures of it. but it was decent. i just prefer the solid white-ness of my new car. sorry to hear about the bum scion dealers up there... its a shame.

 

why would you get 4300k only to later get 5000k??? unless they arent HIDs

 

Silverstars I believe are said to have a color temp of 4300K. That would be one way you could just upgrade bulbs and not necessarily get an HID kit.

 

read it.. i have replacement bulbs in for right now.. so my headlights arnt the nasty stock yellow color. Their 4300k bulbs that i have right now.. and when i buy my hid kit its gonna be 5000k HIDS because i like 5000's better than 4300's in true HID lights..

 

very true.. although i am not a fan of Silverstars personally.. i just bought some off ebay.. knowing that il only have them in for a short time.. im just OCD about my lightbulbs.. lol

 

what number is the reverse light and the front turn signals?
i wanna get them but dont know which to get

 

How do you get access to the license plate bulbs?

 

schmohey take a look in the manual it will help you. You have to remove the panel on the hatch.

 

I just pulled into auto zone and removed a front turn signal bulb. The number was 1157's The ones i purchased were silverstars and have a blueish chrome glass color. You could also look online for some amber led 1157's online.



To access the plate lights, u open your hatch, and then just pull and remove the black panel. It takes alot of pulling to detach it. Then their just normal twist and pulls to get the bulbs out. Once its open the bulbs are 194's i believe

 

yea, i found it. the license plate lights are 194
front turn are 1157 and the reverse is 7440
