Unlit you see nothing, lit they are amber and the same brightness as stock.

No problemo, pics on page 1 in my post above yours of them lit

I think you'd agree that the pix (yours and mine) don't do justice to the color and brightness difference of the front parking lights with the Blue Vision bulbs. Before upgrading, the parking lights looked really yellow next to the LED headlights (and given their proximity to the headlights and the fact that they're always on when the lights are on, the difference really detracted from the attractiveness), and the Blue Vision bulbs, while not nearly the same color/brightness, are much closer to the LEDs.

Oh yeah, without a doubt... Pictures do not accurately show the difference between the Blue Visions and the stock bulbs. I wish I had taken a picture of the rear license plate bulbs before changing them out, but I doubt they looked anything like what is shown in the pic I put up on the prev page...

Hey, I guess great minds think alike eh Stream? lol I'd love to get those fog lamp bulbs you got from Amazon but wow are they expensive.

But they're so worth it. The increased brightness and whiteness is a great safety factor, plus they match the LED headlights pretty closely.

I'm noticing most of the places that sell Silver Vision are outside the US. Are these generally not available here in the USA?

When I was looking for them too Rick I noticed most if not all the places were overseas. I did find people selling them on eBay, but went with powerbulbs after reading nothing but positive reviews from them. Their delivery was very fast, and if you buy the silver visions from them you get a set of 5w5 blue vision bulbs for free...

Powerbulbs.com are the least expensive (especially when you consider you get a free pair of Blue Visions for the parking lights), and they arrived from the UK (with free shipping) in 3 days. I've been buying from them for a long time--highly recommended.

I found a site in the US that sells them but were much more expensive.

I am planning to get my 2010 Prius III in Oct this year. I am gonna have a trip back to Asia for a few weeks in the summer time. I wanna know the bulb size you mentioned about, so I can get them in Asia since they are cheaper. Can you post all the bulb sizes for me please? It would be even better if you know the bulb sizes for the interior lights. I tried the powerbulbs.com but it only show Gen 2 06 onwards, are they the same as the Gen 3? Thank you!
