My worthless anecdotal experience is that LEDs in a reflector headlight works well, and an HID bulb in a projector headlight also works well.

Reverse those, and the beam goes to pot.

Sunday the gal I sold the Prius to came by with a headlight out. Had to remember that I converted the halogen bulb to HID. Then I determined the bulb had burned out. Happened to have a replacement so the fix was easy.

Also fixed a broken LED (my mod) running light, added half a quart of 0-20w synthetic oil, rotated the bald front tires with the brand new looking rears... charged the traction battery to full.
