    Tried installing a backup camera today and gave up. Everything was going smoothly until the boot part. Any tips guys?

    You would usually need to push a wire coat hanger or similar through first, then attach the wire you need to go through, then pull it carefully and slowly through. Hint, wrap the video plug so that it doesn't catch when pulling.

    I'm interested in the same thing. Curious to see how yours goes. Where did you get your camera?

    Around 10 minutes in the video! Maybe easier from the roof towards the hatch direction.

    Other than what others have already provided above one thing to note, at least with my 2015 it may be different on your 2011, the bottom portion of the boot had a plastic 'lock' to hold it in place. Even with that bottom boot portion completely off it was still a pain to run wires (smaller than what your trying) through it. Good luck

    Hmm, LEDs with yellow plastic sleeve?

    That pic has got to be with the front end up on ramps or jackstands. There's no way the cutoff is up that high up the garage wall. :D

    You can adjust it. It's flat to the ground on TRD spring. I bought those fog from Cheizy. Worth the price. You can do any color you like. Just H11 bulb. If you like them Cheizy should be getting more. Here is the link

    Projector Fog lights (BOLT ON) finally! | PriusChat

    I bought a set from Cheizy, though I put them on my Camry. I had already put a pair of projectors on the Prius, but they aren't high quality like the ones Cheizy is selling. They do have a wider angle lens though.

    So you mounted them angled upward, not level?

    I flip it backward. Unscrew the two side screw and reverse it. Look better with a flat line going across.

    What does this mean? Does this mean you turned the mounts around and mounted the left in the right and right in the left side backwards?
