    you might as well get the headlights painted from the inside. aftermarket headlights will never be as good quality as the original ones.

    That's what I figured. I think I will just stick with the stock lights

    I will still check and see what other people who have bought them have to say about them. I hope they are good quality because I really like the way they look and my prius c is black so an all black look would look so awesome

    Get the European LED Toyota Headlights. They are black inside instead of chrome.

    I'll have to dig up my spare headlights to test this out, but I believe the front lens is held by a few screws/clips. Reason why I say that is because Toyota offers just a front lens replacement for the C's headlamp unit. I was told this by the parts department manager today when I went in to get my car serviced.

    There have been a few posts about removing the lens... I believe that they all said they had to bake the sealant. But I could be thinking about a different car... :\

    They have to be baked. I stand corrected.

    I'd be curious on that too considering the 'C' isn't sold over here.

    I google searched them and found a few ebay sites.

    Which is why I said Toyota. The Yaris Hybrid lights will fit, I believe. If not, the Japanese LEDs will definitely fit from the Aqua.

    Just looked, Yaris Hybrid won't work. But the Aqua will. Get the LEDs from Japan.

    Just be careful they're not RHD only or you'll be blinding oncoming cars. At least if they'd be available in Europe they'd have had a LHD option.

    The european (australian?) LED headlamps with blacked out interior would look great with my new smoked tail lamps... :)
