    Yes, I like these better than the others (Valenti) that have been posted here. Group by? :)

    They look really good. I wonder if they make anything for my gen III?

    Thanks

    Are they not just the new design rear lights for the midlife gen3 update due early next year? If so, will they retro fit to the existing gen3 Prius models?

    They don't look like the new ones for the 2012. Take a look at the design again. It's more of a bordered design then a wave design.

    Unfortunately, those taillamps do not have an E-mark and for sure not an SAE approvement. The Valenti's currently are the only ones that have at least an E mark what makes the legal on the European roads. They look good indeed but feature less LEDs what makes them less bright and only have two LED tubes instead of three. The Valenti's are currently the best ones available.

    I prefer the 4 LED bars found in the Valenti lights, which look more balanced compared to 3 bars that this one has. Other than that, the "crystal eye" design looks nice.

    A bit played out. The regulars here who wanted something different from stock (with 3 LED bars similar to the one shown in OP) at a nominal cost (1st GB for $180) or were willing to pay more for the much superior full LED Valenti lights (2nd GB for $420) got them.
