    While working on my brakes, I noticed a small connecting rod that is broken. (Reference pic only- this one is not broken) I can't find it in any of the parts diagrams. It's next to the left rear wheel just in front of the gas tank. It looks like it's attached to a switch of some sort. Can anyone tell me what this is? prius part.jpg

    Looks like part of the MajikHeadLightLeveler linkage (if you have HIDs)! :)

    BTW: Welcome to PriusChat!

    Thanks WilDavis! That's exactly what it is. Didn't expect an answer so soon. Glad I joined the forum and thanks for the warm welcome.

    Headlight leveler. If it's broken then your headlights are likely pointing at it's lowest angle. Replace the part.
