    Did you ever tell us where you got LED front turn signals. Can you do a video as they look like DRL and turn signal... Amber DRL and white turn indicator or is that some type glare?

    this pic shows the white leds are on (I wired it to turn on with the park lights)

    on this pic the park light is on and the turn signal (indicators) are also on.. just a little white glare because the angle of the camera when I took the picture.. the turn signal lights are much brighter than what the picture shows....

    [​IMG]

    those are not mugen.... they are just generic(unbranded) visors for the prius that I found in Japan


    I got both items from yahoo auctions japan.... you could use bidjdm.com or other similar sites to purchase items in yahoo auction japan... you could also use a broker to buy items....

    hey bino, it's soo troublesome, i still can't figure out how to get it, cause i got to sign up whole account etc.. and they don't take paypal.

    Can you buy one for me first if you have yahoo auction japan account ?

    and i'll pay you via paypal or something ?

    thanks

    Happy wife, happy life. If that doesn't work for you, then it's always cheaper to keep her.

    I still haven't decided but I'm thinking of getting LED headlights.... already found a set (JDM ones) but I'm still not sure if it's worth getting LED HL....

    what do you think?

    They look way better than the non-LED version (I'm talking about appearance-wise, not LED vs. HID light output, which you can easily do on the lower trims) so go for them if you can.

    A brand new LED headlight lists for $800 each.

    @32kcolors.... appearance wise I think you're correct the LED looks better.... on the light output... base on some readings I saw HID would be brighter than the LED.... I'm also trying to see if I'll go for these lights which was modified (black) or go with the OEM ones... I'll probably be doing this but I'm waiting for the conversion rate (dollar to yen) to be better.....

    @Tracksyde... coat would be more than $1.2K to get the lights.... this would include the conversion wiring kit, shipping from Japan, broker fee,etc.....
