    Im looking to get some HALOs like AAC or something, but dont see them available for Prius. Anyone do that and if yes what did you run? Did you notice a drop in power after running them?

    Not really. There are halo equipped headlights available for the Prius. I know TYC makes some but they are in the $400+ range. Some of us performed HID projector retrofits for much better lighting. You can do a retrofit then install a CCFL ring inside the shroud for a really custom look or you can put it on the outside and look like every other ricer on the block. lol

    I always thought TYC was kind of ghetto, but then I think that's the impression I got seeing the people who like to put their "Elegante" body kits on their Benzes.

    So did I but they are about the only option for OEM style replacement lenses. :)

    There are similar styled headlights on ebay for around $250-280 per pair. Many said "DOT / SAE stamped".

    I can't speak to their quality though. I know that a few other forum members did reviews and analyzed the cutoffs.

    F8L's Morimoto projector retrofit is killer though!
