So last night i was walking up to my car from the grocery store and i notice on the headlights what looks to be a row of LEDs separating the Main headlights from the turn signals i turned the lights on and went to go look but they didnts turn on, i turned on my brights the same thing! So anyone know what thse are for?
Yeah, it's pretty odd actually. That was one of the changes Toyota made for the 2006 Model Year. The '04 and '05 Prii don't have that row of dimples. Of all the things to change, that's a silly detail to add, IMHO.

Darell and I briefly discussed the idea of adding LEDs in the dimples. Must've been six months ago... There wouldn't be much light output, and routing wires in there would be tough.
