    I'd like to know the
    1) name
    2) spec
    of the light that is in the front of the car, above the day time running light, at the same section of day time running light.
    I know it is not fog light, because my Prius doesn't have fog light. It is been puzzled me for a long time. Thank you!!

    I found the following lights on Amazon:

    JDM ASTAR G1 8000 Lumens Extremely Bright H11 H8 COB LED Headlights, Xenon White

    Do you think it is worth buying? Why? Thank you!

    WY21W (21W) wedge-based bulb.


    Hopefully someone here with experience with replacing the headlights with LEDs can chime in. Most of us still stick with HID as a replacement or retrofit. These LEDs use about the same amount of power as HID (Amazon says 36W per bulb. HIDs are 35W per capsule).

    The light is white color, not orange. So it is not turn signal. What name can it be?

    Well based on your description, that's the best I can do.

    The LED DRL and the turn signals are in the same housing like you described. You have a 2014 Prius so that's where the DRLs are. The only other lights are your low beam, high beam, forward-facing parking light and side-facing parking light.
