Anyone have experience ordering from rakuten.com?

I can only give Australian experience. They are good with articles that sellers will send overseas. This is not always apparent on the site. There is an English version of the site. Aussie banks don't seem to be fazed by international orders. The English site will give prices in your currency. Delivery time for us was about a week. Better than China or Hong Kong.

I think these lights look great. I’m just sorry to hear you don’t have them with the smoked lens.

 

The tow hook insert 4300K white LED DRLs were a Rakuten order (via their website and Google translate) paid via direct credit card. Six days, order to delivery.

I ordered the lower polished molding for my v earlier this year. I used a CC and had no problems with ordering or shipping. It took a bit longer to receive them - I recall a couple weeks.

 

I am interested in the bumper lens replacement units!

 

It's how you wire them.

You would need to rewire your DRLs to achieve the same.

Thanks. How easy is it to wire them so they are on all the time (except when the car is off of course). Is there a tutorial anywhere for that?

 

There's quite a few threads on modifying 2012+ stock DRLs if you'll do a search. With aftermarket DRLs like Revier, easiest would be just to insert the wires into fuse #25 or 26. They'll be always on in ACC mode.

 

Do these DRLs (from above) look like fluorescent lights when off? The pictures when off look a bit plasticy/CFL like.

I also think for me, the pure white of them may not look that good on a Black Prius (when off). The stock LED DRLs look sorta smoked/grey when off which I like.
