    Very Very Nice Bino. I use to live in Rancho Cucamonga, I lived at the end of Banyon. I use to work in Alta Loma Chase Branch before I moved to the OC.

    I think the black housing would look cool with your carbon fiber hood, but you can't go wrong with JDM OEM ones either.

    Owners of the Five here should do LED headlights swap with the people over at Japan who modify their JDM Fives with USDM parts, paying only for shipping. Both sides end up happy as the grass is greener on the other side!

    @32kcolors.... it would be great if we could find someone willing to do a straight swap for the headlights in Japan... I found a set of USDM LED there for sale for 168,000 yen.... I just don't know how fast they sell over there.... anyway I'm still 50/50 on this conversion since I only have 1 more year on my lease... and as much as I would like to keep this car I also want to get a prius v.....

    @gene74... got it directly from Japan..... but I think someone's selling it on ebay.....

    @danielizzle... thanks... I live just behind the Victoria Gardens mall.... and work in OC (Irvine)

    I really like the lip...would love to have one. Only problem is it would take me a day or so to rip it off...too many dips down here.

    yes beam pattern would be for a RHD vehicle... I really don't mind the pattern... hehehe... I'm currently using JDM halogen housing and though the pattern is wrong I was able to adjust the light pattern to be usable

    That would be mine. Bino and I were the only Prii at the TORC show this year. PC'ers definitely need to represent next year. People seemed surprised to see a modded Prius there.

    As for what's on my car, I only have the Seibon hood, electronic shifter and shark fin antenna. The rest is the Plus Performance Package.

    If you haven't seen Bino's car in person, you're missing out on one very clean car. I learned a lot of tips from him this past weekend that I hope to use to continue the mod process on mine.
