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

New comer..
I bought her when she was 48k mileage.
Poor Prii got hit and run in the parking lot at the passenger side rear bumper after the second week I got her
Nothing serious though
Use hairdryer to heat it up a bit and push it back to normal
-HID conversion 10000k
-Added OEM style fog light with yellow beam halogen bulb
-5% tinted at the back 15% at the front
-FRS rims
Ordered OEM lowered coil spring
I'm going to take more picture on my Prii after I got the spring on

 

Today I got my second set of 215/50/17 Yokohama Avid Ascend on my 2012 Prius II at 63K

 

It's funny you have ZIP tie there. Didn't it come with the bracket to install the inverter and CAP?

 

Had the Beat Sonic Shark Fin Antenna sitting in a box at my house for a few months and finally installed it last Thursday. Purchased from the Prius Chat shop. Support the Forums!



Also working on cleaning up, sanding, repairing curb rash, apply filler primer, painting and applying clear coat to these 13 year old JDM BBS Forged Subaru WRX upgrade wheels. The one pictured had a blowout from the previous owner so I used a Brown Scotchbrite to remove the rubber from the outer barrel. Work in progress...

Isn't that kinda fast?

10000k is called deep cool blue
I was thinking to pick between 8000k and 10000k
But I took the risk and picked the 10000k
But it comes out as a bit lighter than deep blue

 

Installed new rims xxr 553 235/40/17


iPhone ?

 

So I ordered me and new ride today to match my Pri in white of course haha hope I don't break an arm!

 

I saw this used as a prop on America's Best Dance Crew on MTV.

 

How is the output at 10000k? Were you going for color or output when you made your decision? I went with a 4500K bulb as I wanted the highest possible lumen output.

 

I got it from eBay a few years ago. Here is a screenshot of the eBay page. It was larger than I expected, but it matches the new wheel nicely and I like the way it feels in my hand. Hope this helps!

 

Agreed on the full lumens and full safety aspect. I would absolutely NOT do 6,000k, 8,000k, 10,000k. All "HID" are not created equal. Aside from the lumens output being poor on such bulbs, there are other aspects that are downgrades or just downright unsafe. There's a reason why OE manufacturers bulbs are expensive and their respective salt mixtures are trade secrets worth several millions of dollars of R&D. Slapping a $20 kit doesn't put you in the same club as those with Genuine HID. It just makes your lights look blue--and unsafe! Granted putting low quality kits inside halogen projectors isnt as evil as putting them in reflector housings, it's still not ideal. You guys doing $20 hid kits should at least do the projector retrofit by morimoto so you minimize glare.

Ideally though, go OEM =) it's worth it. See the link in my sig.

 

The wheels look good. Didn't think i'd like the TC wheels.

 

Not a good day today...Got rear ended as I turned into my neighborhood by a Chevrolet Impala who admitted that he was tailgating me before going up the overpass. My 3 year old daughter and 6 year old niece were sitting in the back, so thankful that something worse did not happen. Glad that both parties involved were not injured.

 

Oh man, bummer. Just glad ya'll are okay.

All materialistic things can always be repaired and that includes our cars.

She'll be fixed up in no time.

 

Installed chrome lower moldings today

 

I installed some more leds in the door and now im looking for some good 3175 leds. I also tried installing a sokie hood strut kit but the plastic socket clip rubs the bolt that mountes it to the hood and broke it. I followed the instructions they must have sent me the wrong mounts or something. I also got a ABN oil filter wrench from amazon so i can change my oil tomorrow.

 

thanks! yeah I like it a lot.
