D4R 8000K

The only thing that I cannot testify to with these lights is there a longevity. I have only had these lights in for about a week now. They are beautiful and bright. I got the 6000 K bulbs. There is no yellow in the color and really, no blue in the color either. They seem to be just a perfect color of white. Everything that I see with them shows up in vivid natural colors. They are also quite bright and I love that my 16 year old car now looks like it has factory new headlights. Or at least from the light output. As far as installation goes, they are exactly the same as any other standard bulb that you would put in your car. No harder, no worse. If these last as well as other OEM equivalent bulbs, I will definitely be buying these again years down the road when I need to replace them again. Update: It has now been 9 months since I installed these and they have continued to work flawlessly. These are and excellent buy with great long term results.

My wazowski (car 08’ Toyota Prius) had one headlight out and was in need of a replacement after being sold the wrong lights at autozone and once getting the bulb out of the car and realizing I was sold the incorrect bulb autozone told me it was my fault and they could order the correct bulb that will be $130 and will take a couple of days after they would be bulbs for $54. I was a little frustrated and just needing the bulb as soon as possible after calling around I was being told the same thing, they would have to order the bulb and it was going to be $130 before taxes. So I looked online and next day delivery , so I purchased and was scared honestly at first but it was amazing had a hiccup with the delivery but once it arrived me and my brother replaced the old bulbs with the new ones and all I have to say is it’s amazing!! My wazowski now has both working headlights and they are so bright! Definitely recommend for 2008 Toyota Prius, and they fit in the price range also!

update: Once again I can validate the quality of those bulbs! I had close to 4k miles of night drivings on those bulbs already, I went through some very bad weather, extremely dense fog and heavy rain.. I have nothing to complain but good thing to say about those bulbs.. the 4300K color worked extremely well in those inclement weather and conditions! I WILL NEVER get a bulb that's whiter than 4300K again.. the glare in the fog and heavy rain from my old 5000K buld makes me realized why the OEM bulbs are at 4300K. HID bulb to become dimmer gradually over time... these bulbs are such good value that I will buy more and keep them for the years to come. --- There bulbs give the exact color temp as the OEM ones from my car. Not wanting to pay $100+ for the OEM part, I settled for a set bulbs that got good reviews and cost me $70, sadly they only lasted 1 year, color changed and started to flicker, These bulbs have a 2 years warranty, honestly I can't tell the difference between the OEM part and these... They are such a good value that I think I will buy another set just to keep in casa I need warranty service for this current set.

These are exact HID replacements for original D4R headlight bulbs in our 2008 Toyota Prius, touring edition. I recommend. Longevity is unknown, but if I get more than 2 years, I'll be happy since I now know it's not difficult to replace them again. Original headlight bulbs lasted about 14 years before noticeable fading. I wish I had realized earlier that they were fading. I thought they went from bright to burnt-out. Nope. They fade over time. It took me about 15-20 minutes to install one bulb, about 45 minutes for the whole job and I was moving slowly. These were definitely easier to install than originally anticipated. The Toyota Prius shop which I trust and use for more complicated work (not a dealer) wanted $240 for each installed bulb. I suppose that's because some people are reluctant to try doing this themselves. If you have a somewhat mechanical understanding of how things work and can keep yourself organized - laying out screws in a pattern to indicate where they came out, you can do this. Some YouTube videos suggest trying to replace headlight bulbs without removing the headlight assembly, but this is unnecessarily complicated. I removed the entire headlight assembly for easier access to the lightbulb. It was not necessary to completely remove the bumper. I only needed to make each side loose enough to pull back and access to side screw which holds the headlight assembly. I removed 3 screws on the bottom side of the bumper and one screw from the back of the bumper under the plastic wheel well cover. With the bottom 3 screws out, the plastic wheel well liner can be pulled back enough to give access to the 1 screw which holds the plastic bumper in place. Once the side of the bumper is loose, it easily bends without damage, allowing access the side screw (1 of 3) which holds the headlight assembly in place. Note, before starting procedures which I describe here, you need to remove the top plastic cover which is between the hood and the bumper. Check YouTube videos for a visual explanation.

These 4300K bulbs have good, bright light. And everything would be fine, but they don’t last long. I use my headlights every day, and they only lasted me about 6 months. After that, they started turning off from time to time, and it happened more and more often. After 9 months, I decided to replace them, since I had to switch the headlights on and off up to 10 times. Bulbs from good brands usually work for 2–3 years, and considering how difficult it is to replace bulbs on a 2nd generation Prius, I prefer more expensive but longer-lasting ones.

DO NOT BUY IF YOU OWN A PRIUS. Exactly what happened to me. Another reviewer put it perfectly. -The bulbs cost over $300 to install on my Prius due to taking the entire front bumper off. I thought I saved money by purchasing these with great reviews. NOPE. The lights were dim and at times I would use the brights. 1 year and 3 months in my lights would turn off sometimes the right, then the left, sometimes all the lights, turn off and they would turn back on until they did not turn back on at all. The mechanic could not find ANYTHING electrical and they looked twice. They refused to charge me since they could not fix the problem twice. Said they could replace my bulbs but that would cost over $300 with lights they use and swear by but not OEM but I just paid $300 a little more than a year ago to have my lights replaced on an old Prius. They somehow got them to start working again but within one day they turned off again when I took the car for a test drive and again the next night, so back to the mechanic that second time who again had an electrician look and test a second time and found absolutely nothin wrong with the car, it is the lights, and so far, months later, turning them off and on turns the lights back on but it is a dangerous gamble so night driving is out for now, due to it being an expensive fix if you own a Prius. If you own a Prius DO NOT PURCHASE THESE LIGHTS. It costs $300+ to have them installed due to taking the entire front part of the car apart.- I still have not had the lights replaced due to the $300 cost and last night they went out, I turned them off and then back on and they stayed for a while but were so dim I had to use the brights which stayed on. A few nights prior the lights went off and I didn't notice but my passenger did and told me or I would have driven home with the light off!!!!! Incredibly dangerous. So like the post above said, I have to remember no night driving and once daylight savings comes soon this will be tricky. DO NOT PURCHASE even if you did get a manufactures warranty I would NOT TRUST SPENDING $300 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED!!!!!!!

These headlights did okay but had a tendancy to burn out prematurely (yes we installed with gloves). HIDs tend to flicker or turn off when starting to burn out, and that started to happen within 4 months of installing these, whcih is far too early. These really didn't hold up and last, and had to be replaced quickly. Probably stick to OEM bulbs.

Perfectly fit my Prius. These were the most inexpensive ones that I found both on and off the internet. Over all, I’d buy these again when needed.
