My girlfriend was out of town for the weekend so I jumped at the opportunity to freshen up her headlights. I also changed the oil, finalized her wheel fitment (finally), and installed LED fog lights. Exciting times for the Prius... This thread will focus on the end product but if you really want to geek out on the details of the build more can be seen here: Toyota Prius ReRetrofit Evan What was in there before: - Morimoto MH1 projectors - DDM 5k H1 bulbs - Oem corner light (LED bulb) What is in there now: - Acura RL projectors (tuned) - Morimoto xb35 5.5k D2S bulbs - Morimoto xb LED strips - New lenses MH1 Output Acura RL Reflectors were painted and reinstalled. Oem transparent Acura RL shroud painted black. Strips Clean! Outside Projectors have passive white demon-eyes (projectors lit in this photo) Output The RLs cutoff is very sharp Nice colorband as well Color flicker Output at 25ft @25ft Gotta love high performance headlights Distance
Those Acura projectors are amazing! What did you end up using for the LED strips? Color looks much better than the XB strips I used.
LEDs are the older, now discontinued xb strips. Color temp is 6k which I wish was more like 5k. My bulbs are 5.5k xb35s but they appear to be more ~4800k, so the difference between HIDs and LEDs is significant and greater than it should be. Yea, the RLs are sick, it is hard to fault them. Evan
