Will someone who's posted on page 1 of this thread please edit their post to include the basic info?

"if you'd like to add fog lights on a 2010 prius here are your choices
X. if you want to go X method, you need to buy these parts from this place.....

Y. if you want to go Y method, you need to buy these parts from this place.....

Z. if you want to go Z method, you need to buy these parts from this place.....

and finally here's how to wire it:
on with lights:.........
on with parking lights:..........
on via switch:...................
"

its a lot of work, but maybe someone on here wants it bad enough to do the legwork?

This post must be part of the 95% fluff.? Well you can always write up a document on the proceedure and post it like others have done here (oil change). I plan on doing the mod within a couple of weeks and if you haven't completed the document, I will.

Thank you - please do - it will help many... I will do it at some point,

OBTW - if that post means you really follow through - then it means it fits into the 5% - not 95%...

Thank you in advance!!!!

Sorry about the bad fit. Exactly what parts did you use? My installation had no gaps at all and had no visible clips. I used the Yaris kit sold on Ebay (Yaris 06 07 Liftback OEM style Foglights), along with the LH and RH OEM covers from parts.com (p/n 81482-47020 and p/n 81481-47020).

I am using the exact same thing. The Gap I got is from the OEM covers. Did you take out that signal light on the top and put them in at the same time or just take out the grey cover and put the OEM covers with the fog light?

It is indeed installation error. I only removed he grey cover and then put the OEM covers with the fog light. I never touched the turn signals.

The mod is going pretty well considering. The fog covers and lights installed easily in about 1/2 hour including the light wiring harness. No gaps between the turn signal and the fog covers. They look so much better than the inserts!
Spent about 3 more hours getting wires though the firewall. Need to put the dash back together and zip tie everything up.

Don't know where your gap is, but note that a tab on the turn signal housing fits into a slot on the foglight housing. If this gets missed, you'll
have a gap between the two lights. Also, make sure the turn signal wiring is out of the way - it can end up interfering with the fog light housing and preventing it from completely snapping into the bumper.

Took me about 1 hr to put the lights on, spend about 1 hr put the stalk on the and spend around 2 hrs to wire it up (China brand Yaris light comes on and off coz of the lose wires).

Is it an absolute must to remove the dash in order to install foglights?
