the gold logo would look really nice with the sandy beach metallic. Silver with the silver,etc. Not sure about the at package and the logo but best make sure. Dont want to run off the road while sleeping,logo may block your lane assist radar, could be a devastating nap : ) .

2010 TOYOTA PRIUS XENON FOG LIGHTS DRIVING LAMPS BUMPER LIGHT LAMP KIT II III IV V HYBRID

I ordered this set a week or two ago in advance of anticipated 2010. The set looks OK though the lights have blue rims -- hopefully not too noticeable when recessed. Comes with wiring, harness and a small three-way rocker switch. My 2010 is due end of next week. If my nerve holds.I will have the set installed and post pics.

When you get the lights installed, please post some pictures.

Thanks,

i kinda like the blue rims

I don't yet see any discussion of the light pattern of the fog lights, either OEM or aftermarket. Does anyone else care?

If the lights have a good usable pattern, such as the aftermarket Bosch Pilots on my just-departed '86 Honda, then I'll do it. If they are like the useless factory decorations on my Subaru -- which seem typical of factory foglights -- then no deal.

I want function, not appearance. But I haven't yet run the 2010 in nightime foul weather, so haven't been able to evaluate the effectiveness of the main headlight pattern.

How/where do these hook up, electrically?

FYI, I've posted these in the PriusChat Shop. I received my set and hope to install them soon. I'll do my best to photograph and document the install.

That would be very good. Has anyone discovered whether II,III, and IV are to any extent pre-wired?

[HTMLSpinnr]

They don't appear to be pre-wired in my initial digging under the hood. I saw gaps in the harness where they were soft taped vs. flexi-conduit (for lack of a better term) where wiring "would" have come out had we had fogs. Think we're on our own on this one.

Wouldn't that actually be a good thing? That way we aren't tampering with the factory harness. Most people will probably opt for installing a dedicated switch and utilize one of the blank-plugs on the dash. Just saying.......
