    I also don't like the chrome that much... I was planning to spray some vinyl paint on it but I decided to just install it and see how it looks... it kinda blends with the chrome inside the headlights... I'll leave it like that for now....

    that's great....

    I haven't check the fog lights yet... been a little busy lately... I'll probably check it when my JDM LED headlights arrive and swap my JDM headlights.... I'll be removing the bumper when I swap the headlights so I'll be able to check the fog lights.....

    Bino,

    Are there any instructions for installing these? I REALLY don't want to pull off my front bumper so I was wondering how difficult it would be to do without removing said bumper.

    Thanks,

    E

    I'm not sure about models in Canada... but here in the US the reflector at the side of the lights are orange... and the JDM lights has white reflectors....

    I see, so the reflectors are different, also does the JDM headlights allow you to install a light dimming switch inside the car like the one SFV41901 is planning to do ?

    thanks !

    There are only 2 differences:

    1) JDM has white reflector
    2) JDM had RHD cutoff

    Other than that they are identical

    Yes, all of the JDM headlights have the leveling motor. The halogen & LED. The US Prius 5 w/the LED headlamps already have the auto leveling lights. If u have a lower level Prius & can get a set of headlights with the leveling motor, u can get the correct switch that will allow the movement.
