    Ya
    Yahoo sellers only ship within Japan so I had it sent to the inlaws address, then had it reshipped to me here in the states. You may find it on Rakuten or use a deputy service.

    LOL, I just put my HOV stickers on yesterday, and my car is white, too. My stickers are for NYS, though, and are iridescent white/green/blue, so they match the exterior a little better. CA didn't seem to put much effort in making a less-than-hideous looking sticker.

    I even know a Gen II owner who refused to put them on his car as they were too ugly. Didn't get to use the HOV lanes though.

    I would have preferred the white stickers given to full electric vehicles.

    I thought they changed the law so only 2+, motos, buses and NG vehicles could drive in the HOV lane... i remember when they said Prii's couldn't drive in there any more with a single driver.

    I just washed, clayed, polished, Zaino'd and cleaned out the inside of my dads Plug-in Prius. After him using nothing but, it pains me to say it, drive through car washes for several months I don't think he'll recognize the car, it's back to Blizzard Pearl from yellow lol.

    Fun way to start a Sunday early, I love detailing cars...

    Installed my Weathertech vent visors yesterday :) Been waiting a few weeks for them to arrive because as soon as I'm ready to finally order them..they were on backorder from weathertech, heh...now I can't wait for it to rain again haha. They've all been fine today which I expected, but yesterday the glass was still hitting them when going up and so it would immediately roll back down. Which made me realize my windows have a built in safety feature (I figured, but never really tested it out)...which kinda makes ya feel like a badass if the driver tries to roll up your window and you just smack it back down...
    Up next...probably headlights but I don't know exactly what... I would like something brighter... Also plan to get the fin antenna...and clazzios for christmas as my grey seats are already looking raggedy :(

    Where you really burning 100w halogen bulbs in your foglights? Stock 55w H11 bulbs run pretty darn hot. :eek:

    Can you also post a pic taken straight on, not from a side angle? The reflector geometry isn't designed for light coming off two panels facing sideways, but from a point light source a certain distance from the reflector surface.

    Did you try it on low beam? How does it perform compared with stock halogen bulb?

    He put in some other high intensity LED bulbs in his lowbeam projectors. See pics and links a few pages back.

    I haven't had any problems with the halogen bulbs burning but I don't use my fog lights that much. Here is another pic comparing 100w halogen and 40W led. photo(36).JPG

    I thought you said halogen is on the right side. Why halogen appears to be more white to me, and brighter
