2010 Prius OEM-quality Fog Light Kit Now Available!

Thanks to all those that made this Fog Light kit happen.

For those wanting to know my setup.

6000k LED Parking Lights
6000k HID Low Beams
6000k Halogen High Beams
3000k HID Fog Lights
Blue LED Interior Lights

As you can see using a HID setup for the fog lights actually make the fog lights useful. In fact I can't believe how bright it is on the road with low's and fogs on. These HID lights are so powerful that they make my High Beams look like crap when I use them haha.

 

I installed mine this past weekend and I'm loving every minute of it.

Top notch kit!!!

 

Still waiting on mine to arrive... Must be on the slow boat...

 

I just noticed this image on a post from Autoblog today. It's a Prius assembly line with a pkg IV or under with factory installed fog lamps. Didn't know this was an option, or is this available outside of the NA market?

Foglights come standard outside NA market.

 

And the side marker in the headlight is clear, not amber... probably not a NA model.

 

Ok finally got them in. Great quality but it takes some time. Took me about 4 hours but I hadn't read about the instruction updates on here so that probably wasted an hour. Also I think the B&W instructions are very poor as the arrows (red on color instructions) were almost invisible on the B&W I had. Getting through the firewall is not fun at all. I never found the "hole" but made my own; the cable etc pulled through fine by taping the cable to the wires and lubricating the setup.

End result is fantastic and beats the heck out of the dumb blanks.

 

How long did it take to get them? I'm still waiting...

 

Mine took me about 3 weeks. :\ but Danny took about 4 days to place the order since he just had a baby so I understand.

I'm hearing many stories about people having trouble with the firewall. To be honest I thought it was extremely easy. Took me about 15 mins to bend a clothes hanger straight, poke a hole through the grommet, scotch tape the cables to the hanger (didn't have electrical tape spent like 45 mins looking for it lol) lube it with soap and pull it through.

I think the trick is to actually not make the clothes hanger wire straight but actually bent so that when you put it through the grommet the wire goes upwards instead of straight. So it comes right up the engine bay where you can grab it easily.

Hardest part of the install was probably trying to take out the push pins and put them back in

 

Thanks... I'll have to check with Danny to see when he placed the order. I placed the order on-line on 4 Oct, so hopefully it will show up this week...

 

It was about 2 to 3 weeks. I delayed putting them in as I needed a jack (ramps will work to) as it is virtually impossible to work under the front to get all the screws out of the under belly shields plus install the lights without raising the front. You can reach under there without a jack but you can't see and the space is very confining.

 

Can somebody please tell me the difference between these fog lights (PIPL-40C) and the Xenon fog lights (BL-1038W)? Both are offered for sale on this message board. The Xenon fog lights are cheaper. Should I just buy the PIPL-40C ones and not even think about the Xenon ones?

Am I correct that the installation process with both should be the same? I'm into easy installation, easy instructions and easy everything else.

Thanks.

I would recommend the ones from the Prius Chat shop. They literally fit as if they are Toyota manufactured and the switch that fits into the dash is a perfect fit. When I researched fog lights previously anything other than the PIPL-40C seemed to have some issue wrt the switch or fit or some such. The ones from Prius Chat are basically perfect - takes time to get them in there but it is not hard just time consuming

 

Just ordered mine yesterday...can't wait to install. Anyone know if there would be a way to install a relay?

Has anyone installed a relay yet for these to turn off when the High beams are activated?

 

Thanks. Then that's the one I will order.

I have 2010 Prius Package 4 - just bought a week ago . This one neither has the fog lights nor the HID lights which are onyl factory installed in package V models. Can I get these installed on my Prius. I live in Fairfax VA. is there a dealer nearbuy whop can do it for me ?

Please suggest. many thanks in advance.

That would be pretty easy to do really. Using a normally closed relay, wire the trigger to one of the highbeam leads and place the relay between the power for the fogs.
