Just wondering about something.

Which one of you will be the first to retrofit the optional LED projectors from the new 2010 Prius into a gen 6 housing?

Here is the link for the Toyota site:

Damn, the 3rd Gen Prius looks really good, much better than the old ones.

...that is something to consider...not sure from the short ad what part is LED though...any more details somewhere handy?

No other details that I can find. It does say headlights so they are not the typical LED DRLs. From the picture where they are mentioned, it shows two projector housings. At least one of them has got to be an LED unit if not both.

My guess is that it would be pricey since everything has to be new

..if we are lucky one of the projectors might fit...than it's not that complicated.

All this hype about LED headlights...has anyone even seen a beam pattern of what that looks like or is all this just wishful thinking?

If I want LED headlights, I would buy a new Prius or Audi A8. Kind of like how if I really need Angel Eyes, I would buy a BMW instead of trying to glue them on to a set of Toyota Camry headlights.
