Hi Conine, is it correct that you want to remove the OEM halogen bulbs and replace them with others that are brighter, or with the blue tint that makes them resemble HID lights? If so, this is not too difficult. In the 2001-2003 Prius (like mine) there are a couple of plastic pieces that need to be removed for better access. I suppose it is similar in the new model Prius.

Unless you have already decided upon a particular bulb, I recommend Sylvania Silverstar. Another poster (here in Priuschat I believe) said they have quite short bulb lifetime, but this has not been my experience.

Changing over to true HID lighting would be a major and expensive task. Trying to confirm that was not your intention.
