    If you are serious I'll be down in SoCal in December. Gives me time to start piecing my parts together. I'll keep in touch!

    I imagine the RX-AFS would be a even easier install being that it isn't bi-xenon? Also would i even need to order a shroud cause it seems it the prius kinda already has one?

    Not much more difficulty added to a bi-xenon projector. Only thing is an extra cable that connects to the high beam wire to trip the solenoid. You are also correct that you don't need a shroud.

    A thing to keep in mind if you go the Mini H1 route regarding the solenoid flipping up for the high beams is that sometimes they're known to stick. I have the 5.0 version and apparently there's a fix to do before installing, but I don't feel like taking apart my headlights anymore. Was really annoying because the beam would basically shoot straight to the ground until I pounded on the headlight so the plate flipped all the way back. Maybe they have this figured out in the 6.0 and or 7.0 versions though. I ended up just disconnecting the bi-xenon and only use the halogen high beams.

    Is this, still, the easiest way to get decent HIDs?
