Update: An appology is owed. Your video and your advice were spot-on. IHowever, I did figure out the point of confusion. Going back to Amazon and looking at their listing for those blue halogen plugs that we both bought to do this job, I read their listing very carefully. Their main picture of this blue plug shows a different wiring set-up than you used. Several pictures in, and they list how some cars are "non-standard" and this blue plug can be wired exactly as you did it. So, after all that unnecessary anxiety, I just wired my Prius like you did and it turned out great. Everything works perfectly. No more HID system, which have been replaced with brighter LED three prong bulbs (for reflector systems). The only thing I did differently was purchase two new hallogen based headlight housings off of Amazon. And I'm surprized with the quality. They fit just right and accept the three prong headlights without modification. Finished the job today and very pleased with the outcome. I also replaced two water pumps and the three way valve so they should be fine until about 450,000 miles like you. LOL. I'm hoping anyway. I really enjoy the prius. Thanks again for all of your helpful videos.

Appreciate your video very much. I removed HID systems on my 2007 Prius today, replaced it with H4 LED bulbs. Only one thing I did differently was that I rewired wires inside of the light assembly instead of outside. So the light assembly is still dust tight as original. Thanks again.

Good deal and great detail. Even better reading the comments just to clarify for those that don't understand enough what they're doing, like me at least for now. :-) Thanks for sharing Man. Thinking I can find the harness in the yard looking around. I'll have to lookout for H4-9003 bulbs and the gen2 non-HID headlight assembly from now on until I get a few.

@@my2daylife932 Last day of the 50 percent off sale and what did I find? Under the car next to the one gen 2 in the yard, it's headlight assembly. Then looked under the snow under the gen 2 and found the other. Had to look around a little for both rubber boots and on other cars for bulbs, connectors and the wire retaining clips. They treated me and my budget great. Amazingly, $55 out the door other than taxes since figured I'd get the half off and donate the $25. Saved a few bucks and they let me keep extra bulbs and connectors so today paid off as usual. Was also thinking I can make a plug and play HID swap connector using the cut pigtails from the HID and an old H4 9003 HB2 bulb base potted with epoxy and maybe even 3D printed clip if I get ambitious. :-) Thanks again man!

Hey, Thanks for the video. Very easy to follow and your instructions are really good on all of the videos you make. I have a 2009 Prius with HID headlights. I'm doing a conversion to LED lights and just bought new halogen headlight housings to make it all easy to plug and play. I bought a set of blue three prong plugs like you used to soldier it all in. But I ran into a problem. And I'm surprises things worked for you in the end with this video. The blue 3 prong plugs on Amazon show Blue Wire (high beam), White Wire (low beam), and Black Wire (ground) in the detailed ad on Amazon. But in your video above, you used the Plug's Blue Wire (for ground), the White Wire (for low beams), and the Black Wire (for high beam hook ups). Bro, I'm confused. How did the wiring circuitry in the Prius not blow a fuse? I think I'm going to wire mine up like the manufacture says. But I would really like to hear your thoughts on how it all worked at the end of the video when you did an ops check. Thanks in advance. I'm looking forward to hearing from you .

@Bob S Welcome to MY2DAYLIFE! That's awesome! anything that makes it easier is great. I'm sorry for the confusion there. I wired it that way because the led lights I purchased had a H4 diagram that I followed, @ 16:14 I show a picture of it. I haven't had any issues. Everything is working perfectly. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching!👍

Now the only issue with this conversion is that the new led light source will be hitting the reflectors inside your headlight housing in the wrong angle. Which in turn will be complete off focused light bouncing everywhere and possible blinding all incoming traffic at night time. Good starting point for high beam wars on the road and possibly road rage attack where someone could DIE.

@Chloe L, Welcome to MY2DAYLIFE! You are so right! I completely agree with you. In the video @ 34.00 min I share the fact that i have to take the eyelids off. My mistake was not to explain why that had to be done. My LED'S are pointing straight, no blinding anyone. I apologize for that. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Rest assure no road rage attacks happening with this mod. Thanks for watching! 👍

@@my2daylife932 i did the same conversion thinking just sticking a led bulb would be a simple fix to annoying HID issue with my prius. Later i leared that each headlight housing is specifically designed with the specific light source in mind. So i was blinding everyone in front of me and it was just impossible to adjust the light output with led light conversion from HID, exactly like what you did here. I ended up getting used non HID housing for cheap and purchased led that matched the exact length oh halogen light and adjust the knob on the new non HID housing to point the light towards the ground. I didnt have kill anyone from road rage ever since

awesome videos. don't know why the algorithm didn't recommend this one first when searching for the conversion. My only question why didn't you do the splice inside the head light assembly then you can keep the connectors coming up to the headlight. thank you

@bekincai Welcome to MY2DAYLIFE!

Excellent. My lights were smashed by a deer. I bought HID shells, but after watching your fine video, I'm thinking of returning them and purchasing standard led shells. In the HID units, there are no hid ballast, or back covers, so why not return them and order the standard housings? They are half the cost. Your thoughts. Thanks, J-
