    I changed my engine oil with mobil 1 ep synthetic 0w-20 and a Toyota Oil filter and i checked my fluids. I had to add about an ounce of toyota super long life coolant to inverter resivior. I like how the oil filter housing and drain bolt are real close together it just makes changing oil easier. I used an ABN brand oil filter wrench i got from amazon for $18.99. it worked great.

    I installed leds in the door and tried to do the dome light and the cargo light, the bulb i got was too long. does anyone know of any suitable leds that fit?

    Installed wiper inserts, front and back.
    About $10.50ish a piece. Spent $30ish on inserts. Crazy.

    Not very mechanically inclined so took me about 15 minutes after hundreds of you tube videos. Lol:D

    I installed a Clazzio Light Gray leather on my 2015 Prius, I decided Light Gray because it matches the Blizzard pearl and everyone has either black or dark gray, I think the light gray is pretty nice and it matches the headliner color perfectly. My hands are very sore especially my fingers hurt so much lol so I will adjust some of it when my hands recover.

    I got it from Clazzio.com for $424 ship and I bought an extra 1yard for the 4 side door panels, the center console they include does not fit well, anyone knows how to remove the center console and use the extra vinyl I bought from them please link me, if you have a katzkin center console installation link.

    Nice but could be tricky keeping it clean and fresh.

    Can you explain this? I'm researching Prius at the moment and don't know all the ins and outs yet. Thanks.

    Here's where I found the link from a previous thread... So basically your running constant power to the led relay...by doing that your taping in to a fuse with constant power as shown on the diagram. Follow instructions on the previous post and u shouldn't have any issues... [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]How can I mod the DRL to have it on at all time? (for 2013 models) | Page 3 | PriusChat

    So without the mod how does the DRL work? I always thought DRL's were on any time the car was in gear.

    Without the mod the DRL on the 2012 prius only works when it's switched to DRL mode. When the low beams are on the DRL turns off. With the MOD your providing constant power so when the prius is on "ready" the DRL is on, as well as with the low beams being on.

    Oh, ok. That makes sense. I'll have to remember that if I go for one.

    I take mine up the mountain once a week for business purposes, a 4000 foot gain in about 25 miles of winding road. My PIP has plenty of power and grips the road good on OEM tires and rims. The car has the ability to go much faster up and down than my heart can take! I average right at 80 mpg for the round trip at an average of 40/45 mph.
