06 Prius Ghost door Lights / courtesy light

Look what came in the mail.



Pry off the factory door light. Yes I have LED bulbs.



UNPLUG


Top is the NEW GHOST light
Bottom is OEM



The GHOST light has 2 small blade like connectors that plug into the OEM socket.

Quick sample


Make sure it's snug


I'm paranoid so decided to electric tape mine all the way up to the plug.


DONE





NIGHT TIME



Lights up the door better than the factory bulb does still.

Yes it does shine back onto the door.



Cost about $13 eBay so we'll see how long they last.

I've already ordered mine, but why are they nearly double the price in the UK at £14-99 ($24).

That I'm not sure. Mine was off ebay and came from China. It was literally the cheapest one I could find and I BID on it VS buy it now.

 

The US prius only had fronts too. where did you run the wires for the rear door ones? Do you have any pictures, that would be awesome.

 

Just order a set for my dads and another for mine. May try to put it in the trunk. Once it arrives I'll make another write up.

 

Got a pair for my dads prius.

 

Got a wild hair and put one in my trunk. Wired into the trunk light power so only comes on when the hatch is lifted and the OEM light can still be switched off. Started out mounting on the hatch aiming down but looked crummy. This is the darkest spot in the trunk so put there instead.

Drilled a hole with the provided bit.

 

To stat with this I had to open up my ghost light and add some glue because the logo was loose and would turn anyway it wanted. After this I silicone every part I could. So far it's held up.
In the trunk there is a wire already going through a gasket to the lower bumper so I poked through there with my wires.






Ran the wires to the left and up through the pillars. There are 3 clips on the headliner rear that pop out easily. Run the wire through there and to the dome light.





Kept getting different results trying to tap into the 3 wires on the dome light so I shoved my leads into the mounting tabs of the bulb then added lots of solder. Basically tapping right into the leads for the dome light.




This is where the wires comes out of the trunk and into the bottom bumper area.




Find a good spot with some clearance and drill a hole with the drill bit that came with the ghost lights. Should go through 2 layers here. Thread the holding nut on the backside to hold the light in place. Connect and insulate your ghost light wires to the wire we ran to the dome light.





Had finished pics but my SD card ate them so I'll take more tonight.
