    Headlights on my 2012 are massively clouded over (not worth the cleaning, they're gross) and can get the 2010-2011 ones a lot cheaper, and from pictures they look the same... but are they?
    On a basic 2 model, halogen housings.
    Thanks.

    Send them to me and I'll bake them. If yout asking price if fair, I'll send you money via PayPal and ship them to me for a project thanks.

    The 2010/11 headlights should fit. Make sure you aim them after you install them. Turning the adjuster clockwise lowers the beam, and ccw raises the beam.

    But they can still be interchanged, connectors and dimensions are all compatible.

    Sorry, can't read the purple font on my PriusChat app in Dark Mode. ;)

    But I gather that the response was negative. Disregard and order them.
