    Hello ladies & germs, happy new year.

    I own a Toyota Prius 2013 import from japan i am based in the UK. I been thinking to replace my front headlights bulbs. The low beam doesnt look bright enough on the road (white light) and the full beam is ok (yellow light) i was thinking the low beam may have lost its brightness and replacing them it might help and i also want to replace the full beam bulb into white bulb. Would anyone know by posting the photo what type the bulbs might be so i can purchase them via philips or osram. I done some reasearch and found 5000k is the whitest colour to an LED.

    Many thanks

    When you buy the bulbs in LED in the designation that you provided above then they will fit in your holder and plug up to your plastic plugs and you will be driving down the road with lights and that is the long and the short of it pretty much unless something's been modified on your car from one of the kids in Asia or whatever was going on with the car that should be the case It looks like you have factory JDM and whatever the heck headlights in the car and you've looked up your bulbs and they look like the housings that contain those bulbs so you should be in good shape.aux are the people you want to mess with You want their s1 and your low beam anyway I don't know how much you use your high beam You put the aux s series in your low beam spot and you'll probably be very happy they don't make any noise you don't hear any whining no fans running doesn't sound silly at a traffic light unless you like that sort of thing pretty good setup and reasonably not expensive If you got to have in your high beams they make one for there too when you put them on looks like daytime in front of the car
