I got mine from ebay, and they work great, so I'm guessing that those should probably work better.

Here's a pic of mine:

They're about as bright as the stock headlights, but one can always install HID's to make them super bright.

I've got a pair of the real Sonars and they're pretty good. I think the light output is much better than stock without upgrading the light bulbs. I had a little trouble getting them to line up correctly, but it was around 2am when I was doing it.

Over all I would say they are quality lights that add a nice custom look. I'd recommend them.

I havent purchased any headlights yet....ive heard people using many brands, anzo , sonar, jdm....which do you guys think is best and where can i go to find em?

thefonz · 05-09-2009, 12:42 AM

dunno which brand is better. I bought some a while back from a company on this site, the dual halo projector in black, they were alright. they fit ok, left was off a little. Could never get the beams perfect and they leaked a little moisture. THEY LOOKED GOOD tho. I just went to HIDS instead.

I'm running the Sonar's.. The output is good but I put HID's in to make it better.. I've had a little fogging issues but you just need to reseal them..

TattooAl · 05-19-2009, 01:58 PM

ive seen threads on bakin em....what do you reseal em with...RTV?

TattooAl, I have not baked my Scion headlights, but I have baked my Toyota Highlander headlights to remove the amber reflectors. You can use the factory glue, meaning when you bake them to get the lens off, you just baked them again to soften the glue on the housing and press the lens back on to put them back together. I usually go to the auto parts store and buy some plastic sealer and run it along the headlight afterwords, just to be safe, but usually you don't need that.

Have them. Got them after i hit a deer. I like the way they look, but i liked they stock output better with just regular bulbs. Projectors have more of narrow beam that V out with distance, the stock ones beam fans out right away. Not a huge diff though, worth the trade off.

BTW mine fog a little too, but only it tends to collect in front of the high beam.

lemusS08 · 11-03-2009, 08:21 PM

i used to have that problem too with the halos but on the back of the headlights there are some white plugs in the back, just take them off and it should let in ventilation so it wont fog up anymore......hope it helps

projectors are more meant for use with HID bulbs in the first place unless specified. so the beaming effect you're getting is from not having enough light output for the projector.

also, the fogging issues, do what lemus508 explained. if i'm not mistaken i told him how to do the veentilation. it does help quite a bit.

lemusS08 · 11-09-2009, 12:12 PM

okay its been like two weeks since ive removed the little white plugs on the back housing of the headlights and im still having problems with them fogging up....i guess im gonna have to do the "baking method"

any one eles got any other simple suggestions????
