    Make sure you get the 3M exterior mounting tape, the dark gray/black double sided foam with the red backing film. Don't get the regular strength white foam tape, it won't hold up to the outside conditions and it's hold isn't strong enough.

    I guess from what I just read its actually "nano ceramic" by a company called solarfree?
    It's all the shop I went to does.
    It was cheap and has a lifetime warranty so I just went for it. The great reviews on yelp told me it was okay.

    Would you happen to know of an install video that includes the relay harness? I have a general idea of where everything goes (I'm going to keep the ring terminals on the wiring) but just want to verify.

    This post has a link to a good text write-up of where everything goes. And a picture of a bolt in the engine fuse box that you can put your ring terminals under for +12v (it's always hot, treat it like it's the positive terminal on your battery, disconnect your 12v battery in the back before messing with it).

    Thanks man! I saw your Instagram before, you ordered the 60s plate as well right? The lady at the DMV said everyone's plates are coming in slower than usual. I ordered mine back in May and I just got the notice on Wednesday to pick them up, even though the ETA when I ordered said 8-12 weeks. Hopefully yours come soon. It'll definitely look good on your car!

    You'd order these things through your State's DMV. There's usually a page on their website to configure your plate and order it. For CA it's an extra $40~ to your annual registration.

    Yes I am on bags, you shouldn't of needed rolled or pulled for that width and offset. I'm running 18x9.5 +30 which is extremely aggressive for stock fenders on a Prius. I had them pulled and rolled all around. What coils are you running? I'm still trying to sell my RSR Black-i coils. They were great and offered pretty much as low as you wanted to ever go. Excited to see what yours looks like.

    LOL I can visualize the lineup of the WGM and Blizzard Pearl Owners in my head and doing knockout rounds! I think you guys outnumber us though.

    Yesterday I swapped out my hids since one burnt out with halogens. Also learned a damn rat chewed my fog light wire that goes behind the engine through the firewall which explains why they were flickering for the last 2 months. Thankfully out of the apartment and outdoor parking and into a house with garage..get to rerun new wire now

    Fone ?

    A little lower than I wanted as mud flaps scrape on speed bumps.

    Got the HIDs in before it started raining. Ran into issues with the relay harness though so I currently don't have one. I ended up cutting the ring terminal off and replaced it with a push on. Plugged it into 1 of the 2 empty ports towards the rear of the fuse box, grounded it with the chassis bolt near the edge of the engine bay, etc... Couldn't get power to the bulbs even in the Ready mode. I plugged into the OEM wiring just to test the ballasts/bulbs and everything was working fine. Any ideas what went wrong? I'd like to run it with the harness since the majority of you guys recommend it.
