    Headlights on my 2012 are massively clouded over (not worth the cleaning, they're gross) and can get the 2010-2011 ones a lot cheaper, and from pictures they look the same... but are they?
    On a basic 2 model, halogen housings.
    Thanks.

    Send them to me and I'll bake them. If yout asking price if fair, I'll send you money via PayPal and ship them to me for a project thanks.

    The 2010/11 headlights should fit. Make sure you aim them after you install them. Turning the adjuster clockwise lowers the beam, and ccw raises the beam.

    I probably won't get started with this until January, but I'll message you when I do.

    But they can still be interchanged, connectors and dimensions are all compatible.

    Sorry, can't read the purple font on my PriusChat app in Dark Mode. ;)

    But I gather that the response was negative. Disregard and order them.
