    Hey guys, two questions concerning my 2004 Prius.

    1. I need to replace my HID lamps, any good instructions out there?

    2. I need to change out my transaxle fluid, and would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction for instructions on that.

    Thanks!

    Science, from a "neighbor" of sorts about 90 miles to your west! I've been following your thread about your battery issues. Glad it's working out for you so far. Looks like the Re-Involt folks have a good thing going for them ... and us.

    I can't help with the HIDs (do a good search and maybe you can find a thread that can), but for the transaxle fill, this is perhaps the most thorough thread:

    There are a number of sidebar discussions to wade through to get to the how-to posts, but that's the thread that emboldened and informed me (a non-mechanically-inclined individual) enough to change my own.
