    It will be "spook-tac-u-lar". Get there early so you can be the first to see the new custom Prius V Hearse, immortalized by Dylan Doxy, Masta Sean, saulbassfan and new member (only seen at night)............Cadaver Dan.

    Installed VLEDs Triton turn signals, front and rear, and reverse lights yesterday. Much better output/visibility than the cheapo SMD towers I had before. I also switched the turn and reverse, now it's turns on bottom, reverse on top.

    Oh, cool. I haven't heard of these VLED Triton LEDs before.

    I adapted a set of OPT7 LED Headlight Bulbs for my reverse lights. They are FAR brighter than any reverse light I've ever seen. @sfv41901 & I were discussing the possibility of a similar bulb that illuminates in amber that could be used as a turn signal. I'm going to check this out.

    I don't think that featherweight thing I removed could be regarded as a "subwoofer."

    So not the JBL system?

    If you put a full range speaker in the JBL subwoofer location (which is being fed by a crossover), I'm afraid you may have made a counterproductive upgrade

    That's a midbass woofer, and while it may seem redundant to put in a coaxial full-range speaker, if he's using the stock wiring there is a resistor in-line that limits the frequency that speaker will play anyway, so it will function the same as the original speaker (but perform differently, based on the stiffness, cone material, resonant frequency, sensitivity, impedance, etc.)

    So today I have finally found a product that actually works and cleans early stages of hazing and yellowing on plastic headlights. I did my 2012 PriusC and 2010 Prius Gen III. All you need is Maguries PlastX and a Microtowel to do it by hand. It takes about 5 minutes on each headlight. :D(y)

    I did this yesterday using the Turtle Wax kit. Before the haze was just above the low beam projection outward and was more severe than what you had. This also worked well but involved wet sanding( the 4 levels of grit came in the pack:)).

    Very pleased with the result and will monitor for longevity and report back;).

    Just a caveat...the oxidation happens on both sides of the plastic..so to get it perfect you will need to open up the headlight and do the same treatment on the inside. Toyota dealership will not honor warranty replacement caused by oxidation.. that's when I got this important added information.

    This going to look real nice with the white side reflector. High heat clear coat apply.
