I don't know. The next time someone's at a dealer, please look out for it and double check! The reason I asked is that since the Camry Hybrid has blue-tinted headlight compounds, Toyota might've added that feature to the 06 Prius mid-way through the year, just like the HYBRID emblems that were added to the 06 Prius.

You are correct! The 2006 Prius (all 2006 to my knowledge) have new hedlamps and taillamps, the taillamps are sans dark fogging on the upper LED portion and the headlamps feature a new turn signal seperator bar with pseudo-LED type plastic trim pieces and new BLUE tinted chrome bezels around the reflector housings. Think black pearl Lexus badges but in the headlamps (a la IS300 sport design headlamps) and intstead of dark gray the tint is a subtle blue. This is not the protective trim from the factory or colored bulbs! The chrome edging on the inside of the headlamp casing is now chrome blue instead of chrome silver. It looks hot!

Yes! Finally a confirmation! Thanks tbb. It looks more obvious in real life. I'm surprised no 06 owner mentioned it.
