Existing holes for JDM side markers??

I'm away from my at-home data base, so I can just speak generally...

There is in fact a thread detailing installation of side markers including a
template for, yes I'm afraid it's true, cutting into the fenders. Side markers
from Sigma, ~$89, as I recall.

In a separate thread, there have appeared pictures of Japanese and Euro
Prii showing side markers where the Hybrid-SD badge is on US models.

An irksome question is, "Why if we don't have the lights, and we have to
cut into the fender to mount them, are there two small holes under the
Hybrid-SD badges?"

There is no definative answer. Most simply, maybe they are alignments for
the punch that makes the holes at the factory.

Then again, maybe it's Toyota's self-serving attempt to strongly discourage
removing the badge, a blatant corporate promotional ploy.

hehe, i just read the same thread and had the same question. but from reading what people posted, i think you're out of luck regardless because the hole(s) are allegedly only on 07+ prii.

and even if there was a hole, i don't think it would be big enough for the JDM side markers to fit w/o some surgery.



check this thread

 

Sorry for resurecting this old thread but on 08 and up is their an adequate opening for sidemarkers under the badge?
