In continuing with the Prius Team official releases of the new Prius, here is photo #8.

Looks like the headlamps are now out there for everyone to see. Funny how they look different at night.

Is that a DRL I see on the top left?

So what's the bright one on the right? Assuming the larger is the 'main' headlamp--and an HID?

Aw man, the new Prius gets projectors? Seems thats the new way for Toyota though, our 07 base Camry has it and the 08 tC's have them too. They aren't HIDs but they're brighter than the regular type

My 2004 is running well and fine-tuned.

But they tempt and the tease . . .

Maybe they will make the projector aimable similar to the Lexus.

That top light is a bring-back of what the Classic had.

As for the projector-beams, I added those to my '84 Omni long ago. The highly focused output made you think. No more stray illumination above the useful viewing area.

Interesting.

Looks cool !

Are there three separate lights?

Somebody that's decent with graphics needs to pull this shot and label the parts and their jobs.
