    I'll do that when I'm out driving again dude, it works really well where it's curves, I'm not at home right now and my car is parked a few blocks away, lol. I'll post it when I go to the car again, no problem.

    I want to do something like this just so I can see where the curbs are when parking. Do you have links to where you bought the components?

    I see this really useful if your car is lowered and you don't want to hit a parking curb

    My car has been a taxi, and by a unknown reason it is lowered, but yea... The curbs in Norway r so fuckin huge... So it's really useful here.

    List of things I used for the front camera

    This is the wireless transmitters.


    This is the monitor I'm using.

    I don't really recommend this camera, since u have to drill a hole for it in the front bumper. But yea, if u want to use it here u go. Mine just got strong double sided tape.

    Flat Fuse Holder for the Prius fuses (this is the one that definitely fits the fuse box, other versions might not).

    Also find two 10A fuses (one extra for the camera in the engine room fuse box and another extra for the one in the interior fuse box).

    Some black and red wires.

    Wire cutters

    Wire rings that fits the bolts/screws in the car (both of the bolts for the negative wires in the engine room and interior is the same size)

    Last weekend I cleaned my headlights, taillights and turn indicators. The headlights' coating (lacquer maybe?) was starting to mat over the sidelight bulbs. Didn't have any polishing paste at the moment, so I used an old car wax :D I'm very happy with the results, the turn indicators don't look very different on photo, but they're so clearer...
