    Hey guys, I'm semi new to the prius world, I got a 2007 last fall, put 30k on it before getting into an accident. Sold it and just bought a 2009 touring with 170k. The hid headlights on it were pretty miserable, mostly because they were aimed way way off. I didn't realize how bad the aim was till yesterday when I did an led bulb swap with bulbs from Alla lighting. The leds have great brightness but the aim is so bad, my low beams are giving me about 20 feet of usable light, high beams are about 100 feet of scattered light. I dug around and can't find much info on what I can do. I will try to find and inspect the auto level sensor today.

    Others have had success rotating various LED bulbs 90/180 degrees, YMMV.
