Help me decide... HID's (again) or LED 's ???

My previous P II I had installed HID 4600K lights from iJDMtoy and was very happy with them.

Now I have another 2011 PII and of course the halogens are abysmally dim.

I was happy with the improvement the HID'S made on the last car, should I go with them again or try one of the thousands of types of LED's?

So far I have been recommended these types of LED's -- Katana , Lasfit, and Auhder.

Maybe the safest thing is to make sure I can return any LED that I don't like.... or go with what I know, the HID's, if I can still get the kit for the Prius.

I was told that some light will be lost due to the projector beam headlights if I go with LED'S. I'd be grateful for your experiences before I open my wallet

Thanks for your input!

Yaesu,

Thanks for the information. I did decide to go back to using HID bulbs, this time 6K rather than 4600K. I ordered them from XenonPro.com.

Their advice was not to use the LED's in a projector assembly, they could have easily sold me LED's since they sell both. Previously I had good success with the HID's and no failures. So I guess the 'go with what you know' will be my mantra, I can return the HID's if I am not satisfied with them, if that occurs then I will try LED's, When I fit the fog lights to the car I will be using LED's in them.

Plus I'd like to have separate DRL's in the grille.

Best wishes and thanks again,
