Or get them pre-installed as an option from Toyota? Three different designs and assuming the LEDs are powered by tapping into the wiring of the front lower door lights? $175+ a pair, assuming it’s just the front two and no rears. Attached pics above
This thread should help. IIRC, Gen4 uses the same parts, and the procedures are the same for PP. Illuminated Door Sill install on Gen4 Prius | PriusChat
Also found this thread on Prius Prime. How To Install Illuminated Sill Lights On Prius Prime Plus | PriusChat
I wanted them but didn't want to pay $500 eather. When I went to the dealer they traded a car for my prime from another dealership and it just so happened that my prime had them already installed. Dealer didn't even add them to the invoice so they were basically bought and installed for free.
how do they look? Would it be worth it to have them installed? I wouldn't pay $425 but I would consider paying maybe up to half that amount
Sorry guys forgot about this thread. Here's some pics. the Front driver and Passengers light up but the rears dont. (Yes the rear are smaller and one has a dent in it. ) No Illumination: With Illumination: Outside in Sunlight: (Light barely visible) There wired into these Stock Footwell Lights. Rear Doors:
I don’t know ^ I’d say why not. It probably looks cool at night. Why not paint all cars flat brown, or make them all have the same color interior ————- variety
Everyone has different tastes. My preference is less, rather than more chrome. When I had the Mazda MX-5 that I traded for the Prime, I removed the rear chrome badges and felt it improved the looks.
Shinny chrome looks very nice when new. The problem is that on the door sill, they get easily scuffed and scratched. I prefer cheap sticker type protectors that are removable and replaceable. Case in point, our 5 years old Pathfinder has a non-illuminated door sill plate, no longer looking so nice.
I know if you do some digging, there are a TON of "Japan only" accessories for the Prime and normal Prius. About 80% of those come in chrome also. They got chrome cupholders, door handles, accents that go around the power window switches, exterior mirrors, etc.
