Limited vs XLE AWD side vents on front of bumper???

On the limited, they're just fake plastic inserts that are supposed to look like vents.

On the XLE AWD-e, they look like something else entirely? Are they actual vents or lights?

 

Any idea what trim levels have actual lights? Cause if so I'm going to order them and replace the fake inserts or I'm going to order extra fake inserts and modify them with lights.

 

I wondered if that was the case but every shot I've seen of these don't show any actual light.

What sucks is I would have chosen the AWD-e if I could have gotten it with the Limited but apparently in Canada, the XLE AWD there comes with the 11.6" screen while here in the US you have to get the Limited.

 

Thanks for that.



Accent lights. So if you have the fogs, you also have the LED accents. What they heck is "stun factor"????

How did they not include these in the top trim?

 

In the parts catalog it's called a DRL.


DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP OR ILLUMINATION LAMP. 2019 Toyota Prius HYBRID | Toyota

I had to use a VIN from an actual XLE AWD in order to get it to show that part.

Note, these are just the led lights that go into the trim. Still trying to figure out which part is the actual molding. There are two and it isn't clear which is the black insert vs the housing for the LED light.

 

You link just goes to ebay.

 

The power connector for the accent lights is already right there on tab next to the insert on the inside, so this will be plug and play. I'll report back with he part numbers for the insert housings when I figure that out.

 

The part numbers are:

Lights:
812B0-47020
812A0-47020

Insert housing:
52713-47060
52712-47060

About $500 before shipping and tax from a discount online Toyota dealer.

 

FYI, the connector from the inside of the bumper next to the fake insert:

 

Looks like a wiring harness is needed. I think it's
81935-47060

but I'm not 100% certain. It appears the same harness also plugs into the fogs if you have them. I might add those later but it's a separate switch on the left stalk that the US Limited doesn't have so I don't know how I'd turn them on or off.

 

The entire switch assembly around the steering column ranges from $115 to $150 depending on which is the right one. Unfortunately the diagram does say so it'll take some dealer filtering on the vin but I'd go that route given it will likely be plug and play.

That said, if the controllers default state is on (when the low beams are on) then I won't bother adding a switch.

 

I called the Toyota dealer this morning that I placed the online order with. That is the correct wiring harness. They also said if I'd just called them I could have save the time researching as they get multiple daily orders from around the country for the exact same parts because folks are upgrading their limited trims to have the accents and fogs which the limited should have already had.
