    I was freaking out thinking this was the procedure for changing the BULB. This is for the entire assembly thank God.

    Good stuff man, I changed both headlight asemblies in my 2012 prius no problem. One thing I would say is that complete removal of the front shroud is unnecessary, I just loosened it up so it would hang and the rest was cake. Couldn't have done this without you, thanks!

    Thank you for this video. Gone are the days of easy headlight assembly installs. Not to mention those plastic clips become very brittle over time. It's unlikely all of them will come out intact.

    thank you for making this video. I have a prius thats in perfectly good shape but the lights have yellowed and clouded up from UV damage, I had a detailing body company restor them and install better HD bulbs but they still are not a as clear and bright as they should be so I might replace the whole assemblies

    It is really a shame for the replacement of a headlight would require this much body removal ... etc ... The clip providing power to my headlights is broken causing the headlight malfunction Warning to come on. I can see the plastic clip but not sure how to unplug it - very tight quarters and IMHO should not be so hard 😢 One side of the plastic plug clip is loose but not loose enough to unplug completely. I just don't want to cause more damage. The car was in an accident 10/2021 and that left headlight was cracked and replaced. I am pretty sure they did not replace the harness since I am now having this problem. Just watching the trouble a tech has to go through to get to these parts brings tears to my eyes. Things do not have to be this difficult! Seems to me the "Engineers" who design these vehicles never consider maintenance ... God Bless

    Notes to everyone doing this; there is no left/right beam adjustment, also from 2010 to 2014 there was a manufacture's defect NOT RECALL, headlights prematurely burning out, there is a update part to prevent this

      to calibrate the angle of the headlights ... he gives directions based on 25 feet from the wall (screen showing the beams)

    Thanks for the video! I just swapped mine on a 2009 right hand drive. For that one (and probably for most other European spec ones) you'll also need to swap the headlight aim adjustment motor, I referred to this video: ruclips.net/video/L8rEU0tOJYw/видео.html. Other than that your video is brilliant, made the swap easy to do with a little bit of time on my hands (1.5 hours or so).

      If you're talking about replacing the headlight assembly, yeah it's a pain. Replacing a burned out main headlight bulb, though, is pretty simple. I've done it almost 10 times by now, takes less than 5 minutes. I'm an Uber driver, and I'm not about to let a pothole and a dead light bulb put me out of commission for the rest of the night.
