If you pop into the Gen3 Mods & Accessories forum, you'll see this topic comes up a lot and there are many, many Prius owners who are using HID kits. If you're a bit more "adventurous", then I'd just go with an HID kit. If you're looking for more light, xliderider's suggestion sounds like an easy and cheap upgrade (although, I believe you need to modify the base of the H9 bulb a tiny bit to fit an H11 opening?). I dont know of anyone who's ever used a kit like this nor have I read any reviews, I'm just posting it here so you can see such a kit exists: Rakuten: Toyota Prius ★ H21.5 ~ H23.11 ZVW30 ★ ヘッドライトフォグ lamps ★ H11 ★ launches new 23 wLED 6000 k (white) SAMSUNG &CREE, headlights & fog lights ◆ ◆ ◆- Shopping Japanese products from Japanīut that appears to be a plug-and-play kit that uses 23W LED bulbs. I just googled for Prius LED headlights and I found this link. I kind of recall someone here posting that the stock Advanced LED headlights are 20W a side, but I cant seem to find that now. Unfortunately, HID driving lights do not run directly on low-voltage DC current. However, since halogen < HID < LED, comparing wattages between the different technologies isnt really helpful in determining true light output This superior efficiency means that you can expect your globes to last around 2,000 hours HID driving lights also have a longer beam distance and the light tends to be more neutral, which reduces eye fatigue and adds clarity to your night-driving experience. Drawing only about 35 watts of power, they generally are good for about 2000 hours of life. So switching from 2x55W halogen bulbs to 2x35W HID bulbs, should save some energy, although you're not talking a whole lot. Xenon headlights HID lamps, which require less power to operate, actually output a brighter light. The bulb wattage is just how much electricity the bulbs consume (or operate at). LED bulbs will last for anywhere between 50,000 and 100,000 hours before they have to be changed. A halogen bulb will generally last for around 2,000 hours before it burns out and needs to be replaced. The "standard" HID kit is 35W and will be produce more light than your stock bulbs. While halogen bulbs in car headlights are easier and cheaper to change, they also need to be changed much more often. And HIDs consume less power for the same amount of light as halogens. LED is more e nergy-efficient than halogen headlights, consuming less power while providing brighter illumination.: Lifespan. HIDs are probably not a good choice if you want reliable, they also have a startup time thats rather annoying. Specification LED Headlights vs Halogen Efficiency. If you dont want to modify anything youll need to stick with halogen bulbs. LEDs and HIDs will need always need new housings, theyre not stock compatible. Click to expand.I think, generally speaking, LEDs should consume less power for the same amount of light as HIDs. You can switch over to them and use HIDs.
