If you pop into the Gen3 Mods & Accessories forum, you'll see this topic comes up a lot and there are many, many Prius owners who are using HID kits. If you're a bit more "adventurous", then I'd just go with an HID kit. If you're looking for more light, xliderider's suggestion sounds like an easy and cheap upgrade (although, I believe you need to modify the base of the H9 bulb a tiny bit to fit an H11 opening?). I dont know of anyone who's ever used a kit like this nor have I read any reviews, I'm just posting it here so you can see such a kit exists: Rakuten: Toyota Prius ★ H21.5 ~ H23.11 ZVW30 ★ ヘッドライトフォグ lamps ★ H11 ★ launches new 23 wLED 6000 k (white) SAMSUNG &CREE, headlights & fog lights ◆ ◆ ◆- Shopping Japanese products from Japanīut that appears to be a plug-and-play kit that uses 23W LED bulbs. I just googled for Prius LED headlights and I found this link. Often referred to as xenon headlights, HIDs are brighter, whither, and more efficient than halogens. I kind of recall someone here posting that the stock Advanced LED headlights are 20W a side, but I cant seem to find that now. HID, or high-intensity discharge, headlights work a lot like the fluorescent bulbs you’d find in an office. However, since halogen < HID < LED, comparing wattages between the different technologies isnt really helpful in determining true light output So switching from 2x55W halogen bulbs to 2x35W HID bulbs, should save some energy, although you're not talking a whole lot. The bulb wattage is just how much electricity the bulbs consume (or operate at). The "standard" HID kit is 35W and will be produce more light than your stock bulbs. And HIDs consume less power for the same amount of light as halogens. Click to expand.I think, generally speaking, LEDs should consume less power for the same amount of light as HIDs.
