Fog Lights: Install [Retrofit] fog lights on 2010 Prius?

[Prius_in_Paradise]

Fog lights are standard on the 2010 Prius V [1229].
Fog lights are not available in any other configuration.
Can I install [retrofit] fog lights on a 2010 Prius IV [1227]?
If yes, can you estimate the cost?
Thank you.

[Opinion: I have never liked blanks on instrument panels where there would otherwise be optional buttons. I do not like the rubber “blanks” on the front bumper in place of the fog lights. I do not “need” the fog lights. However, I do not like the rubber circles in place of the fog lights.]

If there were a "friendly" way to approach this, I'd consider installing them with a switch mounted in one of the knock outs to the left of the steering column.

I'll look @ my Prius IV to see if there's any wiring available or if we'd be pulling our own.

I recommend getting the brightest legal aftermarked fog lights available. They come in small round sizes that should be easy to adapt to the cutouts in the gray fog bezels. I would add a simple dash switch, but if we find the wiring is already in place, then the benefit of replacing the light control stock becomes much greater.

Normally, I would bet that the wiring would be in place, as it would be more efficient for Toyota to manufacture a single variety of wiring harness for the car to accomodate all options; however, with the ATP, and the fact that Fog Lights and LED headlamps are only available in package V, it makes me wonder is there was economic justification to have type 1 and type 2 harnesses in this case. I guess it is time for the 2 day $15 document subscription. Need the wiring diagrams for connecting my DRL turn signal module anyway.

I think another excellent project will be to move the Seat Heater switches up to the blank where the Parking Assist button would go in the cluster of switches below and to the right of the steering column. At least I think it was for Parking Assist, or maybe LKA. There is a cluster of 4 switch locations with three of them populated.

Where/how does one get a shop manual/diagrams for the 2010?

You have to go to the Toyota Technical Information System (TIS) site and subscribe:

https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfo....toyota.com%2F

I don't know what the current pricing is, but you can subscribe for as little as one day. To get the most for your money, you'd sign up for a day that you have a lot of free time, and then download as much of the manuals that you can. Be sure to download the Owner's Manual too, as a PDF of the Owner's Manual is often a lot easier to use than your hard copy because you can do word and phrase searches.

Currently the standard subscription for TIS is $15 for 2 days and $75 a month. It is $35 for security professionals for 2 days...but that is another story.

I don't know if this is still the case, but it had been said before that if you subscribed on Friday, your "DAY" ended on Monday.

I hope Doug is listening. I am ready to get a Gen III Prius as soon as I can get fog lamps with a package IV. If not the Volkswagon Jetta TDI as well as the near future Audi A3 TDI are both striking my interest. I hope Toyota will listen and respond as they have in the past.

Given all the talk on Daytime Running Lights, you could set these up with an Auto switch or DTR option and draw in more customers.
I'm in.
