This car has the same running gear than the prius or Lexus CT as far as I know off.
The 2014 year was availabe with halogen or Xenon headlights while the Xenon headlights are so rare that I couldn't even find good pictures about out. Nor a headlight for sale.
The headlights are made by Valeo and permaseal (silikone) is used. There has to be some kind of sweet temperature spot to open these but for me it took four runs in the oven.... It was the first time I worked with this type of sealant.
The old Projector:
The new LED Projector:
The two top screws:
The two lower screws I didn't use because I would have to glue in new mounting points. Instead I used the two middle screws and mounted it from the front. Because the mounting points where too perfect to not be used. The distance and the hight matched the pattern on the projector perfectly.
That made the alignment really easy.
Here you can see the two screws and also I added a small plastinc ring that helps me mount shrouds. I had to add these small shrouds because I just didn't look right. The round opening was too big in the headlights.
I think the shrouds are called iris shrouds but I am not sure anymore.
installed in its new place:
And here with the lense back on:
These are not or sealed or tested yet. As soon as I know they work as intended I will post more pictures.
This is not my personal car so I didn't add any other features. Some white Devil eyes and a Volvo / Range Rover Style amber side marker could look in these headlights behind the clear bar that is already there.
