    Here are 4 pictures of the DRIVER side fog light for the 2010 Prius/Yaris and some measurements I took, as best I could.

    - 3.75" diameter across front of the light
    - 15/16" from the front of the light to the screw holes on the longer side
    - 3.50" deep on the long side
    - 1.25" from the front of the light to the screw holes on the shorter side
    - 2.75" deep on the shorter side
    - 1 9/16" center of hole to center of hole on both sides
    - 5/16" from base to center of holes on the longer side (based upon tape measure between the holes - hard to measure on a round object)
    - 5/8" from base to center of bottom hole on shorter side
    - 1/2" from base to center of top hole on shorter side

    Anything else anyone sees they'd like me to try to measure or other pictures they'd like?

    The kit sold on this site for the 2011/2012 looks like it won't fit. I own 2012 Prius 3, and I have the Day-time Running Lights and the shape is not the same. After doing some research, the 2012 has the fog lights in the lower grill instead of the side under the turn signal.

    Has anyone found an aftermarket grill?

    Why not just buy the OEM grille?

    Has anyone ever added an LED light to the bottom of the front turn signals? Just drill a hole where the reflectors are, plug in an LED and tap into the parking lights on top of the head lights. I've been thinking about it for weeks now.

    That is what I was thinking. Already purhased a spare turn signal housing and the hunt for the right LED is still going on. Turn signal housing was $17 and planning to install a 3W LED bulb. My concern is the heat build up since these 3W LED does not have no heatsink and designed to turn on intermittently like use for back up light and etc. - not designed for DRL. You cannot drill the bottom if you have the fog lights. Best area I can find was the side towards the engine and using chrome plated bulbs to increase brightness instead of using the orange bulbs.

    You got these turn signals for $17? Where? I was thinking of drilling a hole somewhere here and adding a LED. I don't need it too bright, just to light up to have a more symmetrical look.[​IMG]

    Going to the stealership tonight to see what the price is. If nothing else, I can make the kit fit into the stock grill easily. Just need the button from the kit really.

    are you all saying the 2012 already come with a pre-cutted foglight fit bumper under that black grill? so if you want fog lights you just have to buy the grill that have the foglight holes in it? or do you need to get both the cover and the grill...or does the precutted cover only comes in certain G3 models

    Yes. All u have to do is get the grill with the openings for the fog lights. Then its just a matter of installing the writing harness, fog lights & new grill. No need to replace the bumper cover.

    Yes, all 2012 from the base to the 5 have the same bumper. The only difference is the grill & the absence of the wiring.
