Not feeling it. It does not fit the spot, that jog in there does not match the straight line of the vent.. and the fact that it does not fill the whole area makes it look like an afterthought... it just looks so out of place. Sorry dude.

 

... So? lol

It doesn't fill it out, but I think it looks good in person with the yellow backing. I have it lined up flush with the stock vents painted yellow. And personally, I get looks all the time from my car and lots of persons are checking it out and taking pictures of my xB all the time.

I had planned at one time on recessing it all the way into the faux vents, but I figured that since I bought these lights for super cheap from China, I didn't care about all that work. I'm not as interested in such a perfect awesome fit, considering the fact that I'm driving a $16,000 car with stock fake plastic vents on the front designed for aesthetic purposes from the manufacturer. lol

 

Magyver, your fogs seem really bright. Do they bounce the light back off fog or are they more of a driving light?

 

Looks good...makes the front end look wider.

 

There, I fixed it for you! lol


I have HIDs in my fogs. They don't bounce the light back at me when it's foggy. But then again, it's not really foggy in sunny Jacksonville, Florida.

 

Anyone know if someone has designed something like this insert led kit for the 2012's yet?

I really want this look!!!!

 

^ trd sparks has something like that for the '11/'12 models

 

I have seen the TRD ones
Anyone have them installed with pics?

I would like to see what they look like IRL

They don't look all that great on TRD's page

 

They look brighter on the Xb vs the Benz due to the mounting angle. The XB angles them up into the eyes of oncomming traffic.

 

I had them side by side and saw them at all direction.
It's brighter in person also.

DRL is designed to aim towards the on coming traffic just like the high beam.
Any cars with DRL is typically high beam at about half intensity.
LED DRL isn't like low beam(it's aimed horizon and below)
Also LED DRL is not bright like regular headlight bulb.
It's bright enough to be noticeable during daytime and looks good at the same time. (also uses less power than regular DRL)

 

I do like them. But I might like them more without the "L" shape.
