Need side turn signals, rear fog light AND clear front parking light cover

MelisPrius · 08-13-2008, 06:41 AM

I recently moved to Finland and they have requirements for cars here that are different than in the U.S. I have a 2008 Prius. I need to get the following modifications done in order to get the Prius through inspection:

* side turn signal lights
* rear fog light
* front parking lights need clear cover (not the standard orange that is used in the U.S.)

Has anyone made of these modifications? Any suggestions or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

A number of people here have added the side mounted turn signals to their cars using factory Toyota parts. It will involve making a hole in the fender. You can disassemble the headlights and remove the amber section. I don't know if that will satisfy the regulation though. The rear fog lamps seem to be built into the tailights so you would need to buy some euro spec taillights if you wanted a factory look. A cheap way would to be to mount an aftermarket rear fog lamp under the bumper.

I just checked on a broken headlight I have. You can remove the orange filter over the parking light.
