    Try the ones from Lexus, (81080-22040), they're a nice white color. And don't forget to get one for your glove box also.
    Here's what they look like..

    The stocks are amber. The Lexus are white. They are great. Just enough glow at night to see but doesn't distract u while driving

    Read reviews on Amazon for those LED light strips made in China. Many problems with LEDs burning out, etc.

    Cheaper isn't always better. ;)

    The SMD ribbon type don't seem to last. The oem type used in the Prius should last the life of the vehicle.

    The 1st link is a pnp (plug n play) HID kit. It includes a relay wiring harness, 2 ballasts & 2 H11 HID bulbs. These replace ur halogen bulbs only.

    The 2nd link is a complete retro. This involves removing the headlights, baking them open, removing the OEM projector & replacing it with the provided projector. Reseal the lights & install. From this point on its just like the 1st link.
