    Hi Eveyone. I am planning on buying a Prius in November and so far am really excited for it. I am currently in Japan (Okinawa to be exact) so I'm just biting my time out here until I am finally back in the states to get my hands on the Prius.

    My question is that since I am in Japan, what sort of accessories are there that you recommend I should get since I am in Japan? If certain accessories are cheaper here I might as well buy them here and take them back to the states when I get my Prius so I can start modding right away. I so far bought lights for the interior using the cigarette lighter but that's it. No HID or LED lights yet because I'm looking around the car shops but i don't know which ones I should buy and the pricing isn't cheap. Can you guys help me out? Thanks a bunch. I wasn't sure about getting a Prius until I came across this forum and then I was like, "Yup. I'm getting a Prius."

    I'm planning for a 2013 Prius III with sunroof hopefully since I will be traveling to Palms Springs for work weekdays then Orange County or Vegas for the weekends

    Yes, the headlights. Be sure to get me a set too, I'll take the halogen ones. What's your paypal address?

    I'd focus on getting the specific JDM products that are not easily gotten off eBay or US sites. You can get the turn signal mirrors, etc. later as they're easy to get and don't need a courier or use Rakuten for these.

    Any lights from Japan will be for be for right hand drive cars. You will be blinding everyone and lighting up the WRONG side of the road.

    I didn't realize headlights had a laterality to them? Don't they just light up the front?

    While this is true, there's still the cut off so "blinding everyone" is an exaggeration. Several members with JDM headlights have had no problems.

    They are designed to have a lower cut-off on the side with the oncoming traffic. The left side in the US and the right side in Japan.

    Haha. I don't know if I can afford that or even worth it. This will the first car I will EVER mod. Going to start low then maybe I will consider the Grazio body kit.

    What are the price ranges for each? Im really looking for the headlights.
    I seen the window visors in the autoshops but not the headlights. I think I will need to special order it as well.


    Whats the major differences from standard wheels to 17"? I was going to do the remove the wheel covers and put in center emblem for the wheels.

    I dont use paypal. I did once before but it stopped working on me :(

    That is what I have so far. If you guys would like any of these products, I can buy them because all these products will be shipped back to States when I leave Japan in November. I will be working in So-Cal; Palm Springs Area

    Im still not sure which lights to get to switch out for the

    -interior lights
    -License plate light (anterior & posterior)
    -headlights
    -fog lights

    Its more difficult because everything is in Japanese and I can speak somewhat but cant read a thing . Any help/suggestions for which one I could get would be extremely helpful (visual aid and pricing please ;))
