Parts diagram, teardown or others for Gen 5?

You can pay for access to the parts system through the Toyota Europe website: https://www.toyota-tech.eu/
I paid for 1 hour access last night, and I've still got access today since I haven't closed my window yet.

When looking at part diagrams:

Are you accessing the European site because they're ahead of Toyota USA, or just because the US site is so hooped, since the revisions a few months back?

 

Wait a minute... are you saying I can get the full taillight lightbar to light up on my LE? That's the only thing missing that's made me a little sad. Do you have a link to the DIY?

 

The European site is just so much better. It's the same software many/most US Toyota dealerships use. Takes so much less time to find things and gives you so much more info. Far better than even the old version of the US site.

I have no idea if this link will work or for how long, but you could try to see if it works:
Microcat EPC

If it does work, the gen5 Prius has the wrong image attached for USA. Look for the black gen4 with (2022 - ) underneath.

 

Is it worth $500 to you? If so, looks like it's doable.

 

That's the one thing I liked about the non-Prime I test drive was the blue light bar on the interior. I am assuming it is probably just a could of LEDs to switch out to change the ref to blue...? Anybody have any idea?

 

Ahh, I forgot the base trim doesn't have the light strip. Those are about $1000 MSRP for the pair, and $700ish after discounts. I've got a red Limited and considered swapping from the blue light just to tie everything together(I prefer the blue by itself, but thought the red would look better with the red body color). That consideration lasted until I saw the price tag and that it's probably bonded to the trim right below it(I wanted to keep the silver carbon fiberish trim instead of switching to the copper colored one on the Prime).

I'm not positive which set is the red and which is the blue.
55012-47010-C0 - LH - $231.38 MSRP - $159.98 Lewis
55011-47030-C0 - RH - $713.28 MSRP - $493.14 Lewis

55012-47010-C1 - LH - $231.38 MSRP - $159.98 Lewis
55012-47030-C1 - RH - $713.28 MSRP - $493.14 Lewis



There're two halves to the Toyota system. First, there's the TIS that gives users instructions on how to remove and install parts(and lots of other stuff like TSBs). You can get this through the US site or the Europe site. TIS is really useful, but it's not good for finding part numbers or other options. The second half is the parts system. This gives the part diagrams and part numbers, but not instructions.

Paying for access to the US Toyota tech site gives you access to TIS but not the parts system. Paid access to the Europe site gives you access to both, but is significantly more expensive, especially for a yearly subscription.

US TIS website: https://techinfo.toyota.com/t3Portal/
Europe website: https://www.toyota-tech.eu/

To get to the subscription price page on the European website, create a user profile(free) then try to access any part of the paid section. The parts system is called the Electronic Parts Catalogue and is found in the Repair section.
Some of the prices are: (in euros)
1hr - €4
2hr - €8
3hr - €11
4hr - €15
1day - €20
1wk - €87
1mo - €290
1yr - €2900

Nowadays, I pay for an hour and don't close the browser window. I usually get at least a few hours out of it or even a full day. At least for the parts catalogue.

 

See my post above. Pretty pricy unless you want to swap. lol

I've got the blue but would rather have the red to match my paint. The problem is that the light is not a separate part. It's attached to that whole piece of trim. Probably even glued.

Here are the images from the repair manual on the two parts. You can see it wouldn't be all that fun to swap the parts. These are steps 16 and 21 respectively.

 

Yeah would be interesting to see how hard it is. I'm not ready to take a chance on breaking glued parts.

 

I edited my post above to show the level of disassembly you need to go to.

 

If you're ever interested in swapping parts, let me know. I'll send all the Toyota TIS instructions if you plan to do it yourself.

Note #1: The reddish trim right below the light strip is part of the garnish, so that would also be swapped for the gray one.
Note #2: I think the car will be drivable with the garnishes removed for the few days our parts would be in transit to each other, but it would be a little janky. Among other things, the climate control panel would just be laying in the dash, not screwed/clipped into anything.



This offer is also for anyone else with a Prime that would rather have the blue LED over the red. In a vacuum, I prefer the blue, but the red would look better with my red paint. I'm open to anyone willing to trade.

I'd also be up for swapping seats if someone in the midwest had a Prime XSE Premium and didn't like the red/orange accents, but that's a bigger can of worms. The front seats aren't that bad, but the back seat is an issue because it also has red stitching but it's not swappable between HEV & PHEV.

 

That part number is for the whole light-bar lamp. I believe you only need to buy two LED bulbs, not the whole lamp, to upgrade LE/SE to a lighting light bar, which are like $35 each.

 

That post had literally every bit of information you needed. If you don't want to believe it, that's up to you. What I see is that there are four different rear lenses. (red unlit, clear unlit, red lit, clear lit). Plus there are two bulbs for the lit lenses. If there were really no differences between the lit and unlit versions, then there would be only two part numbers, not four.

And each LED is $83.81 MSRP, so I don't know where you're getting the $35 from.

 

There is hardly enough information in that post, which seems to show a single part number each for HEV and PHEV. If the LE/SE have different lamps, then of course you would need the whole lamp, assuming that you have a socket to plug it in in LE/SE.

 

There are diagrams with the part numbers for both versions in the same post.

Looking at it, I think you might need a new Toyota badge for the replacement lens too. Doesn't come with it, and doubt you can transfer the old one.

Also intrigued by the 87B68 (2305-) strip. Extra part in more recent cars for a bit more protection? Guess you'd get that if you ordered a new assembly.

 

OK, I see the different part numbers for the LE/SE and higher trims for the center taillight in the PDF files.

However, this doesn't mean that they are different. The only difference could be that one comes with LED bulbs and the other one comes without LED bulbs. Some owner with and LE/SE needs to open and check for holes for LED bulbs or lack of them.

This is the part number for the light-bar LED bulbs. It is $58.96 and you need two. It is not clear if there are holes in the LE/SE center reflector to put them in:

LED, socket | Toyota part # 81965-46010

 

Don't think so - the diagram seems to show that the LED bulbs are not supplied with that part - they're shown shown outside the 81581H box, not inside it.

I seem to recall diagram(s?) showing the inside of that part, possibly from the repair manual. They might show what the difference is.

BTW, I had a close look at my tailgate, and I think can see that 87B68 (2305-) strip - there's a piece of rubber sealing a gap between the plastic and the metalwork.
