see this is my bigg problem.. ( i have nothing against any body) but why do people buy kits?? i mean i been there done that... but i didnt know about retrofitting i didnt know it could be done... but if you know about retros and what not you know e49 e55 tsx sc430 projectors will fit in are casing why not spend less to get more then spend more to get less?? with hid kits you get much less lights... no flicker action and try driving to vegas with those kits man the light sucks i did it and i had 2 have my highs on the whole time... blinding drivers... glare man i can keep going and on top of all that you will get a fix it ticket if a cop suspects you have a kit in there... so some people reather spend 250.00-400.00 for a plug and play kit then to spend 250.00- 300.00 max for an oem i guess what ever floats your boat... as you can in the pic its a bigg differecne... can more people post pics of there kits a wall shot... and can people post pics of there retro fit thanks

Or people like me who have unusually large headlight compounds and a projector won't fit haha. Seriously though, the US Prius does have HIDs but I don't know how much it'll cost to retrofit.
