    i agree.

    Eventhough I got pulled over once, i still kept it on after debating whether or not I should change my tail lights etc...

    ...and I even went with the smoked LED 3rd brake light, loll

    Yeah...guess I'll just do the same and rock it how it is. So far no problems myself, although I was a bit paranoid in the beginning.

    I do like the other color options, but since I spent a good amount on then, I like how the smoked lenses and aren't easily overlooked.

    Given that Canadian police were borderline insane for pulling you over for the rear reflectors despite the Valenti lights having fully exposed rear reflectors (which would never happen in the United States), why don't you drive with the headlights on 24/7? That way, you'll always have some red in the rear.

    yes, they have 2, but I noticed that they are smoked too, barely visible at night, but visible when there is light shining on them

    I like to have my drls leds on in the daytime. However, during raining days or gloomy days in the daylight I leave my headlights on.

    You know what happend 3 weeks go ?, pretty funny, but I forgot to post here. A car pulled up beside me, the guy and rolled his windows down and told me that my taillights are burnt out and told me to check it when and get it replaced. I was in a rush to catch a movie that day, however I pulled into a parking lot just to double check. Everything was working fine, that guy was just a noob cause the Valentis bottom park is for the turn signals and reverse light and I guess it's dark on the bottom half of the taillights.

    Yep, they're actually pretty visible when shined upon.

    I don't even know anything about it! I've been SUPER consumed with my caretaking role the last couple of months, so I am COMPLETELY out of the loop! My car has just been sitting in my garage all this time. I still have some painting things to get finished up on my car. I STILL haven't had anything wired up (lighting mods, sound system, etc.). And, my garage door came down on my rear hatch a number of weeks ago (no explanation as to why) and shattered my hatch glass into a million pieces. I have to deal with that still (my rear Tommy Kaira wing will have to be taken off for them to replace the glass, cause the wing -in addition to being bolted onto the rear hatch- also mounts onto the glass partway on both sides). Thinking about it all is overwhelming. lol! So, back to your question, are you participating in this Toyotafest thing?

    wow, sounds bad, hope everything will turn out ok when u get everything fixed up.

    I'm super tempted to make a trip down, join the Toyota fest, get Sean to help me install some parts, and hopefully meet most of you Priuschat members and your Prius. I have always wanted to check out your Prius in person, haha !!

    Thing is I just got a new job, and just waiting to settle in etc.. before I use up my vacation and sick days :p
    Plus if I drive down to Cali, I will be going to Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Sea World, lolll
