    I drove the v for the first time during the night yesterday on a two-hour trip, and as reported before the aim is way too low. I had to use the high beams a lot for an excellent view of the road at 75+ mph.

    Anyone know, or could they direct me to a link, on how to adjust them? I could not find any posts about the subject after doing a search. BTW, the fog lights seem to be very weak on the v, but that could be caused by their light being washed out by the LEDs, which are super white and bright.

    On back of headlight you will find an upside down bottlecap like device. You need a screwdriver or a small socket to turn it. CC for higher, CCW for lower.
    A search here will help, it's the same process as for the halogen headlights.

    We've got that light combo on a 2010 Canadian Touring model. I'd concur about the foglights; it's hard to even tell when they're on. I hardly ever turn them on, never used them in earnest. They look cool though. ;)

    Thanks for the info. Yes, the slotted bottle cap like device was indeed the adjuster. I adjusted them (I used an ignition wrench) last night. I raised them about 6 inches on the garage door and took a test drive. The lights are perfect for me now and no flashing from oncoming drivers. I would say I gained a couple hundred feet of good light down the road. No overdriving the lights now at high speed.

    Anyone look into replacing the H11 fog lamp bulbs with combined radial/projector high power LEDs?

    To adjust the aim of the low beams on my Prius v, I used 1/4 " socket wrench with a 5/16 socket. Set the wrench to loosen the plastic bolt on the back of the headlight.
