    I'm a new Prius owner, just brought this over the wekend 2010 Prius IV with Solar Roof, Nav, Leatehr, 5k miles and few more option brought it for $25K. Right price or high? Just have a few question as a new owner.

    Does any anyone know if I can replace the OEM headight to LED headlight for the 2011? Can I added in the fog lights?

    Have anyone done an update "G-Force" chip on their car?


    Thanks for all your help.

    Welcome to Prius, please read this first: http://priuschat.com/forums/prius-v-main-forum/89600-please-read-before-posting-in-forum.html

    There are also threads asking about replacing your halogen headlights to LED. Simple answer it no, you cannot simply buy LED housings and put them in, there are other associated components. plus the LED headlamps are NOT cheap. If one must have them then it's best to just buy a 5 to begin with. Now, what many have done is replace their halogen bulbs with HID bulbs and ballasts. Search in the Gen III accessories and modifications forums, there are threads all about it in there with pictures as well.

    You could swap the headlight housing for the LEDs found on the Five if you're willing to spend near $10,000 ($5k a piece) and install it yourself. IOW, don't even bother, it's not worth the cost.
