    Can anyone point me to a video for replacing a 2013 Prius V headlight assembly? I see some videos for replacing the assemblies on Prius's, but not on the Prius V. Alternatively, does anyone know if the instructions are the same?

    Basically remove the bumper cover, perhaps just partially.

    Typically people might remove the top pieces and the wheel well clips shown above and pull the bumper cover back enough to get the hidden headlight bolt on each side.
