    Correct. Its a D4S if it using the OEM ballast that fits under the headlight.

    If u end up using an aftermarket ballast, then it most likely be a D2S.

    I ordered my bulbs from TRS (The Retrofit Source). They also sell the ballasts.

    I already had the ballasts from my gen2 Prius retro.

    Looking through the site I only found DS2 ballast and bulbs, will these fit? Thanks.


    I also found these on eBay a bit pricey though. What are your thoughts?

    I would call TRS as I always spoke to the owner when I ordered.

    The eBay link isn't that bad of a price, u can always get used ballasts & New bulbs.

    The eBay seller said the wire from the ballast from that link I posted might not be long enough? It looks long enough to me, not sure though. Then he linked me one with a longer wire but it cost $50 more. Is he being truthful or just trying to make extra cash from a noobie?
