Will the new 2012 front bumper fit on a 2011?

who is the seller that you found on ebay selling the front bumper for that cheap. I had no luck finding any of the drl on ebay as you have.

 

seller is elady01 for the bumper. can you post a pic of your car? I'd love to see it. How did you connect the DRLs.? Do they turn off when you turn the headlights on?

 

I had the body shop finish all the wiring and install. DRLs turns off with the headlights turned on. My front end looks identical to any 2012 prius, I had fog lights installed also. Nothing special, looks just like any 2012 model, mine is 1F7 silver metallic. That is a nice find from Japan, since they are used it is a bit risky but the color should be close to what you have now on your prius. The only thing I don't like is having a front licence plate holes cut outs for the front license plate. I notice all Japanese cars require front license plates so that is something you will have to deal with. I know in arizona, front license plates are not required so the front bumper are often left alone and the dealer leaves the mounting plates in the trunk for you to decide what to do with them. I have purchased a few hondas from right honda myself and purchased a 2012 prius V wagon from right toyota a year ago. We have a second home in maricopa az.

 

All that is needed besides a complete front bumper (ie: grills, DRL/signal lights & brackets, logo & tow hook covers) is the bumper absorber.

 

As for the DRLs turning off, u just need to get a DRL relay harness that can control them

Something like this:

Daytime Running Light DRL Relay Harness Auto Control on Off Switch | eBay

 

thanks!

 

No problem

 

is this the bumper you purchased, Toyota Prius 2009 Front Bumper Face 1010110 | eBay

this one comes with the headlight washers cut outs, what are your plans to cover that up with

 

Those are easy. All u have to do is buy the OEM covers from the dealer. They even come painted.

 

nice, everything should work out for you then.

 

this is the one I bought. it doesn't have the washer cut outs

 

Hey Sean, Do you have any suggestions on ways to cover the license plate holes?

 

U've got 2 choices:

1) this is the cheapest of the 2. The dealer sells color matched plugs that u can use.

2) if ur getting it painted, u can get them filled. This is the method I used.

 

Hey Sean,
any recommendation on which fog lights to buy that would fit in the 2012 bumper?

 

Depends on what u are looking for:

OEM
Yellow lens
Projector
Nokya LED

Most of the newer Toyotas use the same basic design so u have a wide range to choose from:

Just be careful.......they sometimes don't supply the correct switch from what I've seen from other members

 

thanks for the info!

 

No problem

 

Hey Sean, do you know where I can find the connector socket that attaches to the drl/signal light? I tried to get one from autozone but it doesn't fit

 

Are u talking about the 4 pin gray connector?
