    Thanks, I never lock mine when park in the garage!
    Just look at my door panel (Prius V) and not sure how to remove it. I did order the panel removing tool set and hope the DIY will be okay.
    Thinking of taking it to the shop (stereo installer perhaps) too.

    Before you order your JDM style mirrors, I just want to remind you that the installation guide in this thread if for the hatchback model only and I'm not sure if the wirings are the same with the V model. I have not seen any mods on this in the V(wagon) section in this forum - may have missed it. But you need to double check first.

    Thanks again. Yes I do realize that the wiring may not be the same but the installation guide helps me better guessing and gives me general idea of how to go about it. I do plan to spend time searching for the correct wires and don't expect problems with the turning signal and the parking one but the dome light may give me a run. However, I still have an easy access door courtesy light to play with less feature of course.
    I am looking at the color changing led for the door light but they don't seem to be bright enough.

    In the ebay auction, if you choose to buy one, are you getting the pair? Or do you have to purchase two? Seems like a silly question, but his description says "mirror cover" (singular).

    ^ yes a pair. But if you want to make sure, send a message to the seller to confirm.

    Not a silly question because I also asked the seller the same question and the answer is TWO. :D

    See this massive thread for info. It is considered an advanced modification, but it's not a problem for someone with experience.
