If you have a 2012 xB, then yes, you do have the squirrel finder (2010 and previous has the squirrel finder also, but different design, just a aquare box).. You would have to show me pics about 10'-15' away from a flat wall at night, before I believe otherwise.. Or your trolling

Anyway, I got the stuff from TRS for the retro fit, and well, IDK I think the stuff is kinda flimsy, I am going to try it out and see where it goes. I will tell you the high beam function cheap crap is coming off the projector, it is cheap made junk. I will have to modify the cutoff shield to be a permanent fixture rather than a high / low beam function due to the reliability... This is all my opinion, just in case you young whipper snappers get offended.. :biggrin:
Did the retro, got all mah stuff from trs, used the quick retro for the scion with 85122+ bulbs and 35 watt kit..

Looks really nice! What a sharp cut-off. Though I might take issue with your term "quick retro". :boxing:
Completely dismantling the light housing, having custom parts cut with a waterjet,...doesn't sound too quick.

Take this photo for example, I see the purpose for the cutoff, and I'm familiar with the design in that most if not all factory vehicles with HID's come with this cutoff, but my gripe is that when the road curves up or around abend it doesn't help.
Looking at this photo, imagine that at that first road edge (end of the driveway), the road goes up. Well the cutoff won't let you see anything above it. Although the stockers aren't as dramatic, they still have the cutoff.
This is meant more as a topic for discussion, as I'm guessing you've done SOME research on the topic, and not a bash in any way on your project. I think what you have is better than stock.
