In this video I am showing how to build a projector retrofit for the 2nd generation Toyota Prius headlights with HID Bi-Xenon H4 Projectors. The car on the video is 2005, but 2nd generation includes 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
I used generic set of mini 2.5'' projectors with honeycomb pattern and Devil Eyes, mini Gatling Gun shrouds, Iris shrouds with Angel Eyes with adapter to 2.5'' projector, LED strip for DRL lights, relay, ballasts and 6000K HID lamps.
Here are the quick reference links:

01:09 Part 1 - Reflector Painting. Projector Assembly & Installation
08:53 Part 2 - Temporary Installation. Projector Alignment
12:41 Part 3 - LED Strip Installation. Final Assembly
16:55 Part 4 - Wiring. Headlight Installation
21:36 Part 5 (Optional) - Protective Film Installation
25:19 - Outro. Night Video
Parts (will be updated):
1. H4 Relay Harness amzn.to/2U48Seg or ebay.us/Qz3mlw

No way the average person will tackle this project. I don't know why they won't just make more after-market choices. Hell the very small few that there are, are expensive enough. You did a hell of a job! They look amazing!

@IgorKadulenkov 3 года назад

Thanks Lakario! Honestly, you don’t have to do the whole thing. Just installing 2.5’’ mini projectors with default shrouds and ballasts will give you the same result in terms of the performance. And it will be cheaper. This was more of a research project, I wanted to try what’s out there. Yes , it’s very expensive, it cost me $400 to try it out with 0$ labor costs.

@markcornish5277 2 года назад

Thank you for the great video I have been trying to figure out how to make my HIDs look better and now knowing I can pull them apart is awesome. What was the tape you used to seal it again?

@IgorKadulenkov 2 года назад

Thanks for your review! It was butyl tape. I still get some condensation on a rainy day, but I think it's coming through the central hole. It's important to figure out how to seal the headlight completely with all the new cables going through

@kayali8842 7 месяцев назад

Great video and the lights look awesome, how are the led strip holding up as you mentioned they flicker when it’s hot, and can you recommend a good quality led strip please, thanks

@IgorKadulenkov 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! I would recommend getting quality LED strips or not getting them at all. The ones I installed burned in multiple spots and the headlights looked lame. Otherwise, I was very happy with the quality of the beams, night and day difference.

@Michael-qr5cs 2 года назад

my prius has HID headlights. should I stick with the HID housing or buy halogen and retrofit?

@barrylevin3377 Год назад

I have an extra set of OEM Prius Gen 2 Halogen light reflectors. Could I use them instead of the headlight assy you recommended? I got them cheap from a salvage yard for $20 each.

Did you have halogens before? What if you already have the factory bi-xenon HIDs?

@user-yu9wr5vj5k 3 месяца назад

просто поставь современные bi-led HIDs. В сервисе

@Healium55 3 года назад

Nice work! How much if you build one for me with no LED strip? ready to plug in and use.

@IgorKadulenkov 3 года назад

Thanks! The set on the video turned out to be quite expensive, around $380 without the DRL strip. This doesn’t include labor, and I haven’t figured out how to do the final alignment after the assembly. Each car is different and the projectors would need to be slightly rotated and glued in after the installation. If you’d still want to discuss it, you could shoot me an email at igor@kadulenkov.com

@thestudentcoder198 3 года назад

could you just update the whole parts list lol i want to do this but not sure exactly what to buy

@IgorKadulenkov 3 года назад

Sure, I just updated the parts section. Please note that this particular DRL LED strip overheats and flickers in a higher outside temps. I would advise on getting a different one.

@hasanagera 2 года назад

As I know that hid bulb size is D4R, not H4. Could clarify it? If I just buy the projectors, do I still need to do all those wire works? How does high beam low beam work? Do I just need to connect high beam wire to the projector?

@ilyas5708 10 месяцев назад

H4 connector is prius side. H4 from car to whatever the hid bulb is

@rmhuntley 2 года назад

this process is the same if you already have HID's, and just want to retrofit projectors, correct? stock prius HIDs are shit

@thestudentcoder198 3 года назад

if i don’t have hid do i need the harness

@IgorKadulenkov 3 года назад

If you are not planning to just connect your bulbs to the existing wiring, you will need to either buy one or make one yourself. Are you planning to use LED bulbs instead? I am not sure if it's ok to connect LED bulbs to the stock wiring. If you want to have a relay, I would buy the harness as it saves a lot of time. It comes with Relay and HiBeam connector where you need to connect your hi beam switch. Just make sure that it has a matching connector to your type of ballast/bulb.

@thestudentcoder198 3 года назад

@@IgorKadulenkov I already use led bulbs on stock harness

@IgorKadulenkov 3 года назад

@@thestudentcoder198 you will still need to build the high beam connectors and parking light connectors for the rest of the equipment. That’s assuming your LED bulbs are h4 already
