    What year are the headlights from? I know in the US version they updated the LED headlights in the Five and it doesn't have the flood light anymore. (the LED light above the 2 projectors)

    these are pre-2012 LED JDM headlights..... the newer ones are difficult to find and if there are any available they are still very expensive.....

    The lights look awesome! It'll look even better once it's mounted. I find myself reversing into a parking spot more often now, just so that I can look at my LED headlights when I get back...

    sfv41901: Sean..I looked on eBay for the switch but not quite familiar with which ones will work. May you please offer some expertise in this area? I've always wanted to manually adjust my lights from inside the cabin!

    depends on what is avail on the market and the condition... cost would be at least $1K minimum for a good condition lights... you'll find cheaper ones but usually it has scratches and some damage on it... (price is for the lights only..... you'll have to add shipping cost and other fees)

    Try looking at ebay UK. Look for Prius dip switch, leveling switch. U might get lucky & find 1. I've got about 3 or 4 Toyota leveling switches but they dint fit in the blanks in our dash.

    Would love to do this conversion, actually already looked into it, but due to he price seemed more cost effective to just get HIDs, and I'm sure light output isn't much different to 35watt 4300k HIDs are they?

    what's the wattage of the LEDs?

    I'm not sure on the wattage of the LEDs..... I was also was just looking at the LEDs before and settled with HIDs.... but I really want to go LEDs that's why even if it is much more expensive I went with it....

    Awesome, the round design 2010-11 LED headlights look significantly better than the squarish design 2012 LED headlights IMO.
