    Hi all. I have been reading all the posts about LED projectors and HIDs. I think the Corolla LED retrofit might be the best. Does anyone know what years they are or how easy it is? Is it basically, removing the headlight housing, swapping our halogen projector and bulb (2013 Prius 3) for the Corolla's?

    I'd get the autovizions that one poster likes but I am not sure how long they last, especially if it's just an Ebay seller. Most Chinese brands are knock offs of each other.

    Why not just go with HID?

    I did. The cut off isn't bad, and the light spread is nice. I'll try to remember to snap a pic later. Installation took me 40 minutes, and didn't even get my hands dirty. If you're in Socal, I can help you out.

    I honestly think that a legit retrofit is more trouble than it's worth.
