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

yo your garage looks like a kitchen..you could probably eat off the floor...Noice!

 

Thanks! Come a long way lol... Need to pull everything out and clean and wax the floors again... Dosent look this good now as i have a 3 and 7 year old!

 

No biggie, added a dimming mirror and boy did I miss homelink!!!

For anyone interested, don't be afraid to install this, it is the easiest thing to do!

 

I've had the car almost a week now. Today was nothing exciting but:

1. Installed LEDs in vanity lights, parking lights, whatever light is above the parking light (?), the front ceiling lights. Didn't realize these same T10 5 led bulbs wouldn't fit in the license plate lights and that the door foot lights are hard to get into (do you really need to remove the door skin/cover?)
2. El Grande horns
3. Mud guards (Amazon warehouse had them for $56)
4. H9 bulbs modified to replace H11 high beam bulbs.
5. Not a mod, but replaced the engine and cabin filters
6. Pulled a couple door dings with the Ding King and took out some scratches left by the prior owner.

 

Another small change, 2 Michelin XM2 in front. still the original BF250 Eco at the back but probably just for another couple of months.

 

The door courtesy lights come off by pushing a tab with a pry tool. Almost like the tab to remove the vanity light. My courtesy light has some plastic shield covering the bulb. It took me a while to figure out that you slide it forward to remove it from the diffuser. Kinda hard to explain but you'll figure it out once you see it.

Now you need the 2012 tail lights, that will confuse the dealer service writers.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Found a guide with pics and directions here: Prius door lights

 

Installed a Bestek power inverter.

Nice. Which one did you get 300 or 200w? Do you have to worry about unplugging
12 v every day to prevent draining car 12v battery?

 

I also installed the front dashcam, gps antenna, a ubiquiti nanostation wifi unit and mini router (a little overkill but good when I need to connect to long distance hotspot) and my android headunit is configured the way I want it

I got the 300w. Dont have to worry at all about unplugging it. Has its own power switch and turns off with the car, only uses the power it needs. The only con is that there is a tiny fan always running on the inverter. Not an issue in the center console though.

Happy 4th. Prius doing some road tripping to Carmel CA.

 

Welcome to Cali Bruddah!

 

That's a big step for having it just a week. Congratulation!

no because i hate prop rods

 

From the pic, it looks like you installed the GPS antenna on the window above the rear view mirror? Is that true? Can it sit inside the dash and still get signal?
