LED in the 08+ headlight

Always nice to see someone really willing to put time,effort, and resources into their car isn't it?

You should probably email the guy who owns it - s/he obviously put a lot of work into it (the whole car was resprayed in Infiniti Beryllium paint). Hope you speak Japanese though.

So I'm confused - it looks like the 2009 Prius has these lights in it - or is it just something to pretty up the car and there are no actual LEDs there in the front?

I'm happy to see there are lots of little things that can make the Prius stand out a little. There are a TON of them here in Austin, but I have yet to see one with much more than a tint job.

I just found this: angel eyes on the fog lamps

The band of circles below the front turn signals are one of the myriad small modifications done to the Prius in 2006. They do a pretty good job of reflecting/refracting/whatever the turn signal bulb's light into a neat strip, it's a really neat effect if you look at it! I feel these LEDs are even cooler, though!

Nice mod, what lights/year/package do you need to do that? I have an 05 I dont think i could do that, wish I could...

I tried to contact the owner of that modded Prius via cardomain back in May but had received no replies. =(

Perhaps s/he does not read English.
Or maybe is shy to random strangers from the Internet. Hm...

You might have more luck with that.
