Modified Prius's

FWIW, here's a rear bumper parts breakdown -- originally provided by dogfriend,
if I'm not mistaken:

Personally, I like the look of the new Scion xB with its single reverse light. Gives it a European touch. To take it a step further, maybe a reverse light on the drivers side and a rear fog light for rearward visibility on the pass. side.

 

Thanks so much. It gives me a good starting point. I will be considering this for a while, so if and when I decide to give it a shot I'll document it to death for all to see!

 

i want these lights, now.

both the bluish signal light and the angel halo foglights.

Anyone have a direct link to a place to buy those lights? Also, the bluish rear signal light for the back thanks

 

Anyone have any answer for Gilbert? i'd like to know where to get the halo lights too.

 

If you want those blue lights, you'll need to change the headlamp as well. Our US headlamp cover is orange. It looks like JDM has it clear.

Here is the US headlamp:

 

I am curious if those wheels are 18" or 17"? They appear to be 18's.

 

yes also the EU prius got the clear headlight
i have the LED installed already for a few monts

 

super cool modifications on those cars.

Here's what the JDM headlights look like (they are clear):


I assumed that the angel eyes on the foglights were fitted from some eBay kit.

 

Where were you able to find these? I just searched Google for them, and can't find them for the prius anywhere. The upper part of the photos I can see at Sigma, but they are advertising the corner markers...

 

I realize this is probably not for everyone, but most headlights can be disassembled (not just off the car, I mean taking the lense off) in which point you should be able to remove the reflectors.

I've done it in a couple of cars before, just because I don't like the look of amber pieces inside a headlight.

Maybe someone can help, and if I'm in the wrong place to ask just let me know.

I have a computer stand that gets bolted to the floor. Either in front of the passenger seat on on the right side of the hump below the console. I have searched and can't find anything that will tell me what I might damage drilling into the floor or the hump (transmission???).

Anyone have any knowledge about what I can or can't do?

 

To back up what Blackbird says, here's a post by Jelloslug showing how to
disassemble a headlight assembly starting with softening the glue securing
the cover to the body in an oven.
Yikes!

Great collection of Modded prius! I'm lovin' it!

 

The last one I did was my own Toyota T100 pickup headlights.
Old glue seems to be even worse than the relatively new stuff, takes longer time to soften.
However, it is much nicer IMHO to use a regular heat gun over "baking" your headlights in an oven - you just go around the lense for a few minutes until it's all nice and evenly soft and continue applying heat as you pry the lense off.

It's not as scary as it probably sounds, but than again I've never done it on a Prius (not that I imagine that it would be any different).

My avatar shows my truck with only the LED strips lit at the bottom of the headlights.
They produce a "ghostly" looking light in the rest of the headlight.
