Headlights not showing wide field of view

Probably.

Any chance that you are developing cataracts ?
That cuts down on night vision.

So does aftermarket tint on the windows.

With a 12 year old car, any indication that the headlight lenses are "yellowing" or are scuffed ?
Reflectors losing some of their shine ?

If that model has a "cutout" for fog lights, maybe some could be put in those spaces that would come on with the headlights all the time.

 

Could be a combination of things like what kind of bulb/wattage did you use or maybe the lenses are faded.

You could also look on ebay for an aftermarket fog light kit.
Easy to install and about $45-50 that is what I did.

 

Youtube “how to adjust headlights on prius” or look into the h9 conversion.

 

Are you comparing to other recent cars with better lights? When new, this model had quite reasonable lights for its era, and far better than what I was driving in the 20th Century. The bar on performance keeps rising, so it is behind the times now.

Or does it seem to have some form of age or other degradation? A picture of the pattern against a wall at night might help reveal some problems.

 

The actual foglights in those kits are terrible though. They throw light everywhere and create glare that other people have to deal with.

I used the wiring and foglight shrouds from a kit like that, then installed LED foglights that have better cutoffs to prevent glare. Something like these.
