It has been a year and a few days since I got my xB, and the I've caught the bug.

eBay spoiler - $110 painted & shipped

Near perfect fit. My neighbor has the OEM, and it looks exactly the same. Install was a little bit more involved than OEM templates, but I can mark my own holes.


LED "fog" lights w/wiring and switch - $20 (WalMart)

Cheap WalMart LED lights. Almost useless in terms of light output, but they look nice. The camera greatly exaggerates their brightness.


Interior Lighting:
2x 10" blue neon tubes - $6.50
2x 15" red "crystal" neon tubes - $8.68
2x 10" black neon tubes - $8.68
1x 6" mini black neon tube - $2.71
4x lighted neon switches on eBay - $6
various wiring, connectors, and terminals - ~$5
Total: $37.57

I found the neon tubes at a discount clothing store for $3-$4 each. I bought as many pairs as I could match up, ended up with 6 lights. The switches I ordered on eBay. Spent at least 6 hours mounting, routing wires, wiring, and otherwise getting the thing working today. Drilling the holes for the switches was tough...emotionally. The two black lights are mounted on the B pillars facing the rear seats. Overall, very satisfied with the results. Can't be beat for how much money I spent on it.


Edit
I got my door sill vinyls today. They were about $17 on eBay. Pics are at the bottom.


What do you guys think? My plans for the future are Tanabe NF210, and 17" or 18" wheels a little later.

Here are the pics:

watch out for the pillar lights if you have those while driving cops will have a field day with you..

The OEM lighting kit cost more than what it cost me to put all the lights in, thats the best part.

@08bspxb - I thought it was just exterior lights that cops are worried about.

Looks very nice! Like the lights, great price for all these mods.

nah its illegal for you to run with your dome light on as it causes a distraction, so im sure they will definitely not like that.

lighting looks good, but im not a fan of the visible neon tubes. Def be careful with the pillar lights on while driving. that will draw a lot of unwanted attention.

nice!

I wasn't too excited about placing the tubes in such a visible place either, but they don't look too bad, kinda look like handles...i just hope nobody tries to use them.
