The rear hatch light also needs to be enabled when the vehicle is prepared at the dealer. Perhaps @Prius Team might pass this on to 'the powers that be.' Upon further reflection, I wonder why a switch is needed? I don't remember that in the Gen-1 or Gen-3. Also, the light seems 'dim' or rather lacks the brilliance of modern, white LEDs. Bob Wilson
mine has a switch, can't remember gen 2, but i thought it did. i wonder if an led bulb would be brighter?
it's more of an off switch, than on/off. i guess if you were leaving the hatch open, you might not want to drain the battery. but the gen 4 shuts it off after 20 minutes. i don't think mine has that feature. have they added that to all the interior lights?
Both Gen 2 and Gen 3 had switches. The Gen 1 probably didn't because it was a sedan. Yeah I think it's changed for Gen 4 to include all lights including trunk. Gen 2 and 3 battery-saver feature only included the interior dome lamps (but not map lights).
Given that the Prius is used for hauling, either add a second light or have one really bright one overhead. It can get dark if you have a box that blocks the light. I already switched mine to LEDs (natural white so it looks like incandescent)

That's why I can't bring myself to buy new. Way too much $$$ to not get exactly what I want. It's much easier to be content when buying used at 1/2 price or less Posted via the PriusChat mobile app.
Something else for you to try, Bob: White No 2016 Toyota Prius Luggage Compartment Light Bulb | Super Bright LEDs I don't know what fits and what doesn't, but they range from 5 lumens to 350 lumens. The base is probably close to 5.
Ya it annoys me that a 2018 Kia Rio has CarPlay and Android Auto and our Prii have broken voice commands. It probably steers away tons of people from Toyota.
I just want a couple of things: True Lane Keep Assist that works like my 2010 ATP Prius did. (wonderfully) The Entune app suite to consistently work. I can pull into the grocery store lot listening to Pandora, park, get groceries, and when I drive away the screen will either say 'Pandora unable to start, try again' or 'Insufficient Connectivity'. What is that about?
