Prius LED Light Conversions for Prius With the release of the third-generation Prius, Toyota provides LED headlights as an alternative to the regular halogen headlights in the V-level Prius option package. This is the most frequently requested LED conversion for the Toyota Prius, while other lights can also be converted. The Prius's electricity consumption can be reduced by up to 30%.
LED Headlight Specifications
LED headlamps provide automatic level adjustment, automatic shut-off, and headlamp cleaners. They can be used without the ballast required for HID (high intensity discharge) lights, shine brighter with less heat than regular halogen lights in the Prius, and have a product life of 15 years, making them a significantly greener alternative.Except for the headlights, the Prius now comes standard with LED lighting technology for all of the vehicle's lights.
Advantages of LED Headlights
Due to the absence of a ballast, LED headlamps provide far better nighttime visibility than HID lights. The LED light has a color temperature that is closer to that of daylight (5600K), and it illuminates a larger area in front of the vehicle than any other light source. The uniformity of the illuminated area is another advantage of LED lights. In accordance with Toyota "The optional headlamps on the Prius of the third generation use LED technology to consume less energy and generate more light. LEDs provide rapid illumination and can retain 90 percent of their luminosity for 15 years. "
Lighting Accessories
Third-party sellers can change the interior lights, cluster lights, and taillights of Generation II Prius cars to LED lights. In general, aftermarket LED light kits for the Toyota Prius line are less expensive than manufacturer-supplied lights. Prices range from roughly $150 for a pair of LED taillights that convert the regular 2004-2009 Prius taillights, but interior LED light conversions are substantially more affordable. These are the costs of the components without installation fees.
Cost
LED lights are costly, which explains why they are typically seen on much more expensive vehicles, such as Lexus and Cadillac models that offer LED headlamps as an option. A pair of headlights is typically priced between $250 and $400. Due to the required projector housing, LED headlights were generally the most expensive option in May 2011, surpassing even HID lights.
