Anyone have pics of Gen 5 Rear Fog Light(s)

A single rear foglight is fitted to the centre of the bumper in European and some Japanese models. Not fitted in the USA.

You can see it in this video:

Don't have a part number, but I do recall from the repair manual that apparently it's secured with double-sided tape inside the bumper. Not sure what other support it has - I imagine it's got some surrounding support.

 

Oooh. I want. But almost certainly too hard to make it work(for my taste). Don't want to order a Japan/Europe bumper(and pay the insane shipping costs), and don't want to cut a hole in my existing bumper. But I'm now envious over Europeans for two reasons: rear fog light and dual zone climate controls.


BTW, part number is 81480-47030 for the light. Not orderable from US Toyota dealers. ¥6,000(~$40USD) plus shipping if you import it from Japan. (Plus you'd need to cut a hole in your bumper and figure out how to wire it in.)

Wiring: Not possible to do completely stock on a US car. The light is controlled by a relay built into the Power Distribution Box Assembly in the dash. That relay almost certainly isn't present in the US version of the PDBA. A person could certainly get it power from a different source(like a tail light), but it might not behave like the fog light on the Japanese or European Priuses. I also don't know if it's technically legal in the US. For all I know there might be a DOT rule saying the only clear lights allowed on the rear of a car are reverse lights and license plate illumination.

Attachment is only through the adhesive. Although it is also indicated to use a primer to increase the bonding.

 

It's a red light, of similar intensity to the brake lights, as is legally required here. Not that that answers the question...

 

Oh, so it's a red light in a clear housing? And does it flash when activated or just come on solid?

 

Non flashing. And a bit too obviously 3 red LEDs rather than being a uniform light source for my taste, but could have been a deliberate styling decision.
