    Does anyone have LED headlight conversion kit recommendations for a base model 2018 Prius Two? As well as headunit upgrades (android auto/car play/mirroring (Waze)) for it? The larger the screen the better. Maestro RR/RR2 support for sure. I don't really care about the energy monitor since I can look at in on the dash screen.
    I also want to figure out a good Qi charger setup for it.

    SM-G981V ?

    I strongly suggest that you leave the headlights ALONE.

    IF.....you really do a lot of driving at night in rural areas, add some driving lights.
    The improvement will be MUCH better.

    Can you define the difference between "driving lights" and headlights? I do a lot of South Texas driving.

    I think "driving lights", you are referring to your Daytime Running Lights (DRL). The come on as soon as you start the car. And I believe in some models, they turn on as soon as the handbrake is off. "Headlights" are also called low beams, thats what you use at night.

    No, NO. Not even close.

    I am talking about separately mounted extra auxiliary driving lights that can be wired to the high beam circuit or put on their own switch.
    That way, you will not run the risk of mucking up your regular headlights and making them obnoxious and possibly illegal.

    Before you mess with your headlights you might want to check out the replacement cost for them. Secondly, your headlights (and the ones on most cars since at least the 1950’s) consist of low-beams and high-beams. And from the information that was posted on this thread, you have LED headlight assemblies, so you are apparently trying to convert to something you already have! Is it possible that you just haven’t figured out how to turn on the high beams yet?
