What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

Wet sanded headlights
600, 800, 1000, 1200 grit
Covered car with plastic
Wiped sanded headlights with Stoners window cleaner.
Sprayed headlights with 2 coats of 2K clear.
Lights came out perfect.

 

That wheel looks great.
Outside my price budget.
What are you doing with the old wheel?
I’m looking for that style.
Wanted to buy the leather wrap kit that goes over the old leather.
Zip 75035
Thanks

 

What cable are you using? Our Techstreams at work all have Mongoose cable. Toyota actually specifies what cable to use, from what I remember, it's mostly to avoid issues with the update software, not sure if it can prevent proper access/recognition.

 

Old wheel I threw in storage but it’s the typical plastic one. They have a bunch on eBay for about 100

 

Detailed for the weekend…

 

Sprayed my tail lights with some VHT Nightshades Red. 4 coats of VHT + 4 coats of clear + light wet sand with 2000 grit. .

 

That red DOES look good!

 

But is the cutoff determined by the headlight fitting or by the bulbs that are installed?

 

The cutoff is determined by the cutoff shield within each lamp assembly. Doesn't have anything to do with the bulbs.

You can adjust it if needed, the guy I bought mine from adjusted it on his prius and I have not had any issues with blinding people.

 

The cutoff doesn't have anything to do with the bulbs, as long as the bulbs are exactly the designed ones, with the filament right at the designed position. If the bulbs are mispositioned, or the wrong type, or are like some LED retrofits where the light is emitted from a wider area than the original filament, then that can mess with the effectiveness of the cutoff.

There's an adjustment provided on the back of the headlight to move the cutoff up and down. But if you look at in on a nice white wall or something, you will see it is not straight across. It angles further up on the side away from opposing traffic. A headlight for the RHD market will have that on the other side. There might be a way to change that after baking the assembly apart, but it's not a provided adjustment.

 

I thought I recalled from looong ago seeing cutoff shields within the bulbs.

 

Finally completed the full LED conversion on my prius.
6000K LED through out the whole car with hyper flash relay all the way down to the footwells and finally today the glove box.

Replaced the ugly footwell and glove box amber color with the Lexus white and it is so much better.

 

Here is what the footwells look like from stock amber to Lexus white. View attachment 222433

Is the part number 81080-22040 same for the footwell and the glove box?

 

Yes they are the same part number.

Added a rear diffuser from a mustang

 

Threw on some stock Enkei wheels from an old Subaru with an oil change.

Looks great, especially with the red tinted taillights.
