Got the idea from G3 Spiderman. Sorry newbie can't add URL yet. Disclaimer: Will void warranty on your products. Not responsible for damage or personal injury. The purpose of this thread is to informational only. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OUTCOME. Cost: $22.48 including Shipping Time: 3 Hours (.5 prep time for Extending Wires) Skill: Moderate (Removing Bumper and minor cable connection/soldering) Tools: 10mm Socket, Screw Driver, Soldering Gun, Electrical Tape, Thin wires (I used left over speaker wires). Nice to know: No need to completely remove bumper. It's not as bad as it sounds/looks. Check LED thoroughly before the assembly. See #2 picture of 2 broken LEDs on passenger side. I don't want to remove bumper again and send in for exchange. I hope iJDMToy.com can send me a new one. See photos for illustrated instruction. Received replacement (only 1) from iJDMToy for the broken passenger side 2 broken LEDs. I was hoping to do different mod project such as blinker for tail light if pair was received.
Hal W, what do you mean by disable? LED turns on when I turn ON the car and turns Off when I turn off the car since positive wire is connected to Windshield Pump. It is not always/constantly on which requires manual turn off.
In Canada our cars have DRL. The DRL utilize the high beams at about 60% power. I guess in the US your cars don't have this feature? It is probably just a matter of pulling a fuse! Hal
Hal, At least with US 2004-2008 model didn't have built in DRL light Canada. I was exploring built in option through below thread, but no one seem to experiment with it yet. See below for the fuse exact location. http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-ii-...-us-model-05-drl-relay-fuse-add-possible.html
There are a few who have played around with DRLs in the headlight and the outcome is pretty clean. Here is a picture of usbseawolf2000's headlight retrofit with the LED strip on the inside of the headlight. Here is the completed project with the projectors installed as well.
F8L, Thank for your visit. I've read you posting before. It is an excellent write up (lots of good pictures and excellent instructions). I didn't have a guts to put my headlights to oven. Your implement is best I've seen anywhere.
I'm not trying to detract from your mod. I just wanted to show you one version of it in case you get the sudden urge to bake! You know you want to..... lol
2009Prius, Not as bright as the Audi factory LEDs, but they are excellent when in dark and pretty good (subjective) with daylight. Can't go wrong with $22 and some DIY sweat. This LED can be used in many different application. By the way, iJDMToy support team responded they will send out a replacement unit (2 LED didn't light up on passenger side).
