    Just a heads up, the Gen 4 puddle lights in the bottom of the doors are the same as the Gen 3 and the Prius+ (v). I got some neat Toyota projectors for mine from Banggood, only £5 GBP


    The image from them is quite clear, that picture is on rough concrete.

    Looks really neat! Unluckily for us, we don't have puddle lights in our Prii on this side of the bigger puddle.

    You probably don't have as many puddles as we do in the rainy UK ;)

    Very cool! Just stick on?

    FYI, over on this side of the pond, we call them "door courtesy lights". "Puddle lights" for us refers to the lights beneath the wing mirrors that project a light prior to opening the doors.

    Those are door courtesy lights.

    Yes, they are in the bottom of the doors, not in the mirrors. They are actual projector lamp units that replace the stock ones.

    Outstanding! Exceeded my expectations. And sooooo easy to install - just pop the old ones out with a small screwdriver and plug in the new ones. Did both the Prius and the Avalon in less than 10 minutes.

    I bought set for my 2009 Gen II about a month ago, and was so impressed I got a set for my dentist who has a 2012 Camry Hybrid. Here's a pic of mine:

    Just got these. First thing I did was take one of them apart. Nice circuit board, 5 LEDs, (center one for the projector element). I took the projector lens apart and there is a tiny logo on the lens. Very cool. There are lots of places that will sell you custom logos, as well. Easy installation. Pop stock ones out, cool ones in.

    Mine came today, only took 12 days from the US and I am really pleased, better than I thought they would be.
