I just bought a used 2010 prius with < 10K miles , exporting it to Toronto . Excited . However first order of business is to add DRL to the car without getting shafted by a dealer to do it. I would do it while driving it in the States if anyone knows someone able to handle the wiring in this car. I would be driving through Ohio , Pennsylvania and NY towards buffalo. ALso would anyone know if I can use the one from juicedhybrid d0tcom It must be on with car ignition . The diagram or explanation on these seem overly simplistic when compared to a module which I found elsewhere on this forum but used in Prius models < 2010.

Just to confirm, did you order the DRL-2P module? It is listed as only working on 2004-2009 Gen II models. Are the instructions different when installing on a Gen III? Thank you.
Why not install the fog light kit and use an accessory lead to turn them on while the car is on using a relay. If you bypass the switch, it should serve your purpose.
Fog lights have a standard 55W bulbs, so same consumption and bulb's life shortage. DRL have to be LED based, the LEDs affect MPG as well.
