    Sorry guys for late responds, I'm in Atlanta (endless meetings)

    Sorry not having full details of colors of wiring, but the most of steps is in the picture.
    I'll take more detailed pics next time I remove the front bumper again for future reference.

    re: T10 5630SMD led, I got mine from DX.com SKU: 216360 , there were only one ebay seller looks exactly like the DX but he no longer carries it.

    The 5630SMD is twice brightness of the 5050SMD.

    Here is a picture a T10 5630SMD vs Heatsink-like (right) 5630SMD
    5630SMD.jpg



    Yes, the re-adjustments looks way better, Thanks to "32Kcolors" tip.
    Cost me $12 to re-do 3m tape.


    Hi Jackie,

    Thanks for coming to my thread, The ceramic tints (11pcs) cost me $140 shipped with discounted.
    And Best Image charged $120 bucks, after watching them installing the tints is very labor intense task.
    The picture you see is the shrinking process on the windshield, after that he installed from inside.

    Took Best Image 3hrs to completed all 11pcs, PM me if you wanted a referral, if you gonna call-in they will charge you $140+ plus.

    re: Parking light, I used the 5630SMD and did not have return errors, otherwise I've already listed the issues.

    ok gtg get ready for another long day meeting...

    PM send, I pretty happy with Dual Dash cams, and it does the job & I like the idea of flush-mount with windshield vs. suction cup type......and I got from ebay.
    BTW: I have six-types of DRV cams already, ones with GPS, h.264, Dual-cams, & ect....
    I'll place this Dual Dash cam as my #2, due to designs, futures, and $$ cost.

    Here is a video review of the Dash cam, and you'll get a idea what to look for in a dash cam.

    Been pretty busy with my work schedules & flying around.....
    Now will post some of my 2nd round mods that will installed while back, enjoy!


    I went to HK last summer and saw a new Prius Taxi and took couple shots. After looking thru the pictures.
    Our U.S. Prius emblems is not the same locations, as Asia or Europe layout. So brought a Toyota badge
    and rearranged. Also added TEIN=TIEN <---my last name (LOL) so rear emblems more fuller and something different.

    I work night shift, The trunk has pretty poor lighting design, but it was easy fix with some 3w LED Eagle Eye from my Honda Odyssey DRL project.

    After driving the Prius for a month when got it, this little car gives alot of body-rolls, even at low-speed.
    After going thru few threads, few members recommended adding Strut Bar & and changing out the mid-chassis brace will reduce less body-roll. Sure enough they'll right it helps.
    No more tossing around by the winds on the Bay Bridge crossing.

    I added CUSCO Strut Tower Bar (LHD verison) & Amimoto Ultra Brace (from nedear88 | PriusChat)
