The xD is still so new that part makers aren't sure if the xD is going to be worth making parts for, like the xA. There isn't a whole lot of parts out for the xA when compared to the tC and xB.

If you want projector headlights, you'll probably going to have to retrofit them in there. Or find makers that make good parts for Scions and beg them to start making parts Then get the rest of us to chime in as well.

yeah, any luck you have will be news to most of us...if you really want, you can import iSt modellista head lights...theyre smoked chrome + cleared...theyre hot but you gotta know where to import em from..i would..but its expensive...other than that youre only luck will be some 3M film to tint your heads or tails, whichever you wanted to do...sry i dont have a better answer for you..

if youre looking for a nicer light for now, sylvanias are your best bet for the money....theres also a thread on swapping your parking lights with LEDs, ive done it and it looks hot imo. well..thats my long winded answer..best of luck!! hope something i said helped. haha

Ok well I asked my buddy about the projectors. He definetely does them for other cars. And since xDs are so rare he hasnt done them on an xD yet. So i'm gonna bring my car to him some time within the next week or so and put some in. And ill keep you guys updated. I'll put up tons of pictures.

They hold the good cut-off that we have with halogens? That's amazing....is it just as good or is it worse? I'm definitely going to eventually get HIDs now. :D

Yea, I thought the tC TYC would have looked great if they left out the amber.

On the xD, I'd color match the bottom half of the tail lamp and only have the stop lamp portion show through. That would look very nice. I'm hoping to do that next month when we get some funds to add more stuff.
