    Trying to install LED bulbs. Replacement kits have two low and two hi beam LEDs. But my headlights have 2 projector lens for low beam and separate bulb for hi beam.
    Carid has it with 4 different "OEM" part numbers but Toyota website (parts) does recognize any of them. toyota headlight.jpg
    I really don't want to remove entire grill and bumper.
    Can anyone please tell me what I've got and what to do?
    Thank you.

    The 2012 Prius v Five (in your signature) has LED low beams (not replaceable), and can use an H11 LED bulb to replace the H11 halogen high beam bulb. They pop in and out from the rear of the installed headlight module, with the passenger side requiring simple dis-assembly and push-aside of coolant overflow hose supports.

    THANK YOU.

    And thank goodness for Amazon. I can return the four I bought and buy just the high beams.

    You can get 9005 LED (not H11) equivalents for the high beam but be careful as many generate rf interference disabling things like your TPMs system.
