What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

very satisfied ill get some pics or video up

 

That may be true for el cheapo Chinese bulbs, but the Philips Silver Vision I had for a while before I got the Valenti lights and Revier corner lamps were just as bright as stock.

 

washed and waxed the car.....





and installed my tow strap...

 

not a tow strap! i cringe when i see them on civics.

 

..... I've seen tow hooks (mostly ebay brands) on the civics (and other wanabe jdm cars) but not these straps

 

I cam home today and noticed that my passenger side rear bumper unhooked itself from the body of the vehicle and was sticking out past the passenger wheel-well. I disassembled the passenger side rear bumper and reassembled to correct. None of the clips were broken and there was no apparent reason why this would happen... Has anyone had this happen to them? Could the body flex enough to have the first clip that hooks to the body of the vehicle pop out? I'm a pretty tame driver...

 

A similar thing happened to a fellow member and it turned out that his golf buddy was leaning on the bumper to put on his shoes. Any chance that someone backed into it at ultra slow speed but left no damage because it was too low of a bumper to bumper pressure?

 

I checked for damage. We have had rain everyday and the car had a nice coating of grey over the BP. None of the dirt was disturbed, so there was no sign of anyone even touching it... This is going to drive me insane...

 

what is the purpose of the tow strap? Ive seen them but never know what they do.

 

Transportation across the Pacific Ocean from Japan to here. Japanese Prius lack them and there's even a photo of them sans the tow openings somewhere on this forum.

 

This location looks familiar.... Here's a picture I took of my Prius last December. Small world huh.




This is my Prius now, If you see me around, make sure to say hi

 

Changed the Rear turn signal bulbs to LEDs that emit an Amber color. No more orange color in the rear tail lights. $5

 

Very nice! What's the socket type for these bulbs? T20 or 3157?

 

Any problems with hyper flashing? Or have you already installed an LED compatible relay?

SCH-I535

 

I think if he doesn't change the front turn signal, it will no hyperflash, no ?

 

Test fitted my keyhole plug for the driver's door.

 

One uncorrected bulb whether front or rear can make that entire side hyperflash.

If you're looking to get rid of the fried egg look (short of upgrading to full LED taillights), I recommend the Philip Silver Vision. Just as bright as stock.

 

Yes, good call, hyperflashing is happening. I like it though, people seem to be forced aware that you may change lanes at any moment! =P

Yeah, once I changed one, the whole side started the hyper flash. Although, when using the emergency hazards, it blinks at the normal rate.

These do look like a good alternative!

 

Thanks! They are T20 or 7440
