Prius Lights

Yes - I'm hoping someone comes out with an aftermarket kit to enable these LED lights.

IMO it would look a lot better with full vertical LEDS and no fog lamps.

 

That would be awesome. IR night vision assist. let you know if a deer or other large mammal is posing a threat to you and your Prime.

 

Speaking of deer, would the car auto stop for a deer like a person?

 

Maybe, maybe not. Some heuristic data base in the car might have a few hundred outline figures of people in it somewhere, but something like a shopping cart (with all the empty spaces) might not light up on radar. Bears, deer, antelope, or the odd giraffe could give the car some trouble with alerts and avoidances too. I wouldn't expect there's a lot of studies yet on oddball obstacles. As always, be alert; lerts have more fun! (Benny Hill reference)

Add those two lights back and I'd bet the Prime would stop for anything hazardous entering the road ahead (on it's side or four tires down). They always keep useful features back for the next version of a car.

 

On the top of the roof, above the rear view mirror, is a panel with like the SOS, and cabin light button. On each side is a button with what looks like a light symbol. What are those two buttons for?

Thanks Lee Jay. I feel special having a front personal light.

 

How do the fog lights perform?
Do they make a difference when turned on or are they just as useless as allways ?

 

I must say, I'm loving the auto dimming high beams.

 

I saw a Prime behind me the other day. All the vertical lights were on. I think they are the DRLs.
