    I'd be interested. I don't see why anybody would skip the paint for only $65. A body shop would charge way more than that unless you happen to own a body shop.

    Ahh interesting. Although it may be a rare occurence. You could tie it to the courtesy lights but then they'll only be on when the door's opened. The puddle lamps are for entry (again, more useful if you press unlock on the fob so that it illuminates before you get there). I havent' checked but what about the footwell lighting (if equipped)? Do those come on with the dome light when the car is unlocked?

    When's the deadline? (Mine will be Blue Ribbon... I see that you already added me lol.)

    The only potential problem I see with this set-up (and I've been thinking about it for a while now) is that the footwell lights do stay on when the car is in drive, although at a very low output. So, does that also mean the courtesy lights would stay on? My guess would be yes....

    Just bought a Prius. I am interested in these lights. Would making this modification void any warranty?

    Thanks

    Wow! The list is really getting longer everyday. To answer the question from some of you here, I took some pictures of the puddle lights in action.

    I wouldn't be surprised if we reach 30 people for this order. I figure the more people the better. Cheaper Price Right?

    Somethings to be noted

    Individual shipping is a must. I feel that the 19 people so far are not all living in California
    Any other kind of shipment method is too much of a hassle. Let UPS or another carrier take care of the transport. Use their extensive network. That's what they're about.

    Payment Method???

    As long as that price stays less then $200 painted and shipped i would bet around 30+, the lower the price the more people would buy i would guess. :mod:

    How soon would we need the money and how much? I am totally interested, I'd just need to save a little up first. I'd be interested in Blizzard White ones if there is a bit of time, otherwise, I guess I will have to wait until another time.

    Hmm, good point. It's so dim, I forgot about it! Guess the rear dome is the only way. I'll wait for a detailed write-up (kinda like the foglight one). I'm in no way eletrically/mechanically savvy so I rely on DIY writeups here to get the job done (and I will add that so far, they've been very well written/detailed for a newbie like me, so thanks to those who took the time and effort to create one!)

    Still wondering if it's a camera effect. It seems to light up the door moreso than the ground. I see the white line illuminated but I was expecting the ground to be illuminated in white like I've seen on the Lexus models.
