    I have an 04 and I ruined my headlights they are all scratched up, and starting to haze over. Can I put the 06-09 casing on my 04? I looked at them and compared them side to side and they look identical (except for the obvious changes which make them look a little different). So would putting 06 casings on work?

    thanks!

    I don't know the answer, but I have polished scratches and haze off of headlights before.... got a nice little kit for it at an autoparts store.

    Cleaning the headlight lenses will be a lot cheaper than replacing.

    They're very pitted and just look like crap overall. New ones will look much better. Hopefully the new ones will fit

    Did you replace your 2004 headlights with 06-09?

    I intend to replace mine with Anzo 2006 - 2009 Toyota Prius Halo (CCFL)

    If someone is interested, these Anzo 2006 - 2009 projector headlights fit\work perfectly for my 2004 Prius. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]these Headlights use H9 bulbs for HI/LOW beam.[/FONT] Just installed them and now I'm upgrading them to HID (I will lose Hi beam). Didn't want to put aftermarket HID on original headlights to avoid glare of incoming traffic.

    Can you please help me? I have a 2004 non-HID model and want to install projector headlights. Can you point me in the right direction in terms of online resources? I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks!!!

    I realize this may be late but here is a projector retrofit me and usbseawolf2000 have been working on.

    http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...16-headlight-projector-retrofit-hids-max.html

    I am looking to swap my headlights for the 2006+ units so I can add LEDs in a clean manner like usb did.
