My Car: 2008 Prius Package: N/A Nominated 0 Times in 0 Posts TOTM Awards: 0 Friends: 0 | Hi, I'm in Costa Rica - first person in this country to have 2 Prius. I am looking for the best quality - brightest LED exterior lights. Front Turn Signals Front Markers Rear Turn Signals Rear Fog Lights Side Markers Please list model numbers and recommended location to buy these. Also - does anyone have any light kits that mimic the A5 LED daytime running lights? Any and all recommendations are appreciated. ![]() |

Still, I just don't see anyone going through the trouble to tear open their headlight housings to modify them like that. Now if you'd like to replace any bulb type of exterior lights you can do that, many already have and the LED kits readily available as a simple part swap (plug 'n play). |

They were a little pricey, but of amazing quality and brightness. I'm sure the few that got them love having them. You can see a lot of examples still on his site, and if I remember right I think he even mentions/references/compares with some off-the-shelf parts that are commonly found. Prius Mods |

Very cool and very well done) so it is possible. |

I think someone did change the fogs to LEDs here... might've been the blue ones I saw. |
