    Any issues so far with the headlights? Just found 20% off the lights and placed an order. Excited to get them but also have read of a lot of issues. I will post feedback later.

    Nope, they have worked flawlessly so far, been very happy with them since I got them adjusted, they were not aimed at all out of the box.

    Cool thanks for the feedback. I ended up also ordering Morimoto headlights for my other vehicle. They pretty much had the same scenarios of issues.

    Those look pretty neat. I like the spyder headlights (the set I have) but now I kinda want to upgrade :spending:
    I bought these headlights right before all the cooler headlights came out smh

    Like the other guy said... Check out his link. But the main issues were with lights cutting out, adjusters breaking, and radio interference. Like I said these were the same issues with my civic Type R morimotos. But, again 5 year warranty. And I noticed most people that post the issues are the ones with problems and not necessarily people with successful working ones.
    Headlights revolution is running 20% off and TRS 15% off. I ordered from each site for my cars and both are arriving in 5 days.

    Yes, when you turn off the DRLs in your Sport, the DRLs will turn off on the XBs.

    I installed mine awhile back from the Black Friday sale and am super happy with them as a plug and play option. I removed my stock headlights with the BHLM done which had stock projectors with HIDs. I am a lot happier with these both in looks and performance. It was nice to remove all of the additional wiring of the HIDs as well. I tried to go with the 2020 Pro lights before these and had 2 (maybe 3) sets get damaged in the mail due to Toyota's poor packaging before I gave up. These shipped super quick and the packaging was great. No damage at all. Install was straight forward.

    Question: Is it possible to move the wire from white DRL to amber LEDs which can be used as amber DRL? Or I should add separated wire for amber DRL?

    Thanks

    Good job on those mods you have made.

    I got mine yesterday. Love them so far. But having a hard time adjusting them since I have a sloped driveway. I kinda got them aimed properly horizontally but having a hard time adjusting them vertically. How wide should they aim?

    Im tempted on buying these as well but really on the fence after hearing about so many issues.

    Anyone with a positive experience wanna weigh in on how they've liked them so far?

    I’ve had mine 2-3 months with no issues. Very pleased with output after I got them adjusted. While not as bright as the HID I had on my 2017 they are still way brighter and whiter than OEM halogens. Plus they match the xB LED fogs I already had which I transferred from my 2017.
