    I didn't spot auto lights in the prototypes.

    I just finished installing mine and I got the wipers working. You need to connect the kit's purple wire to the thin green wire on the wiper stalk. It's on the same connector as the thick red, white, and green cables and a thin blue cable.

    Also, I installed the rest using problemchild's instructions and now my headlights turn on even if the I turn on the parking lights (due to connecting both wires from the headlights stalk to the same relay). Does everyone else experience that or did I misread the directions?

    Thank you all for this write up. I am ordering the kit now. I hope I will have some time off to study and do it.

    It will work with HIDs. All this mod is doing is using a photo-cell to turn on the OEM relays.

    I thought the same thing as I was reading so I hooked mine up a different way. I'll update on what connections I made when I get my Prius back from the shop.

    Did you find a solution and how did you connect the kit up differently. Thanks.
