2010 Prius Fog Light Install [Retrofit]

If you're referring to the Lamin-X sheets, you can buy them from their site here.

 

Guys,

Can you help? I am looking to use a stock switch, 84140-47130 for my Blinglights fog light. When I look around, the switch MSRP like $130+ and $90+ to me. Do I have the right part number stated above, $90+ for a fog light switch... Do I have a Prius or Ferrari?

 

It's not just a fog light switch. That's the part number for the entire headlight stalk switch that's on the steering console. You have to remove the steering wheel and a few other things to put it on. It's not just a switch that replaces one of the rectangular blanks in the dash. Toyota doesn't make one of those for the Gen 3 Prius.

Replacing the headlight stalk is a relatively easy job, but some have damaged the steering sensor in the process, which is a $600 part, if I remember correctly.

 

jayvee,

Thanks for the info. I'm happy that I don't need to pay $90 for a switch. But I am not happy that I will have no stock switch to use. Maybe I will ask the dealer to do that. Any idea how may hours of such job from dealer?

 

I'm sure there's a pretty wide variation in what a dealer may charge. What you may be able to do is ask the dealer to go through all of their stock switches for other vehicles, to see if they fit the Prius blank slot. The 2006 Yaris switch may fit, but it may stick out just a hair, and not completely snap in. You may be better off going to an aftermarket accessory installer. They are more likely to have a "clean" solution and can make it look like "stock" - they may even already have a solution that fits the Gen 3. And they'll almost certainly cost less than the dealer. Some on this forum have been charged $600+ by a dealer for a fog light install (including lamps.)

 

jayvee,

Thanks for all the info!

 

Here's a quick tip (although it's probably already known). Under the foglight area is the black plastic cover. On that cover is a small hole. If you stick a regular size 'bigger head' (not pointy) phillips screw driver through that hole, you can feel around and find the fog light adjustment screw. The reason to use a bigger head phillips screw driver is because it will stick to the screw and the handle can rest along the opening on the plastic cover, and it won't fall out. That way you can have a screw driver on each side and make your adjustments evenly & easily, instead of fishing for the screw each time on either side. Worked great tonight after I put in my 3000K HIDs.

 

I understand that Toyota does not have a simple plug in switch for the fog light. I'm hoping to get one and put it in the dash somewhere. Can someone suggest me what switch, Yaris?, works the best and where can I put it? Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks Spiderman, Unfortunately, I bought the Blinglight kit from PS shop and the switch does not look good and hope I can get some sort of OEM switch to replace it on the left hand side some where.

 

Just to make sure I understand your reply, it sounds like OEM Yaris fog light switch will have the close enough fit to the bottom panel somewhere, right?

 

Thanks Spiderman! Damm... I should get that kit from eBay instead.

 

Good for you and guess what I made that mistake

If anyone looking to get an after market fog light kit, Yaris might be the best bet today.

 

Ya I think that kit is about $200+. Make no mistake I don;t mind to pay more to get a good one, the problem is the fog light location and I bet just a matter of time, probably a winter or two it will crack from some highway objects.

Btw, how do you aim your fog light to be straight?

 

If soon, please PM me and I like to buy the switch from you. Thanks!
