    Hi everyone,

    I can't find anything specific to my 2013 Prius. I am planning on removing/replacing the driver's side taillight lens assembly tomorrow, and am looking for some help before I get started! Instructions or a video would be very helpful? Do I need any other replacement parts for the job? Thanks so much for all your time and help!

    Once you’ve done 10 or 15 of them, it becomes a breeze.

    Well, I changed out the taillight lens assembly today without any problems. The video was very helpful! Thanks again BZzap! I work slow and it took maybe 20 mins.

    I wonder how much the Stealerships would have charged? Always makes me feel good to do the work myself! And, I got the replacement taillight lens assembly off Ebay for a $100! And, it was an original Toyota Prius used part in excellent condition!

    So happy! Cheers everyone!
