    Has anyone installed fog lights on a base PiP? Is it feasible?

    I might be interested on getting one installed with yellow bulbs since they are great for rain.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    It's a pretty complicated install on 2012 Prius if you want the factory look since Toyota moved the foglight location from the integrated turn signals to lower grill. You'd need a need a lower grill plastic shroud from a PiPA or a Prius 5. This guy has some fantastic DIY's on a lot of Gen 3 Prius mods. He even found out that a Yaris OEM foglight kit comes with a button that fits perfectly in an empty accessory spot to the lower left of the steering wheel.

    Interesting and excellent write up. Basically, you need a replacement grill ($102) with fog light hole/mounts, fog lights ($40-100) and the installation.
