    Is the 2012 prius c side mirror bulb not replaceable? I have the light housing out and can't find a way to take the bulb out to replace with led bulb.

    Like a generation 2 you pry off the back of the mirror plastic piece credit card or splooge then the lamp assembly pops out after that and it reveals a 194 Amber bulb but I guess you're going to stick a Sylvania ZEVO one Watt Amber LED would be my guess Don't use cheaper ones.

    Theirs also Aftermarket sequential led housings available for 20-30$, only took about 15min to install once you have them off if You'd rather never have to replace the bulb again

    Well it's all plastic so you should be able to dremel the hole to put a 194 base in the kind that pushes against the hole and sticks in there and then stick a 194 zevo one watt LED bulb color of your choice seems pretty simple get rid of the BS lamp that's there figure out where to put a little hole for the 194 wire up that socket to the wires that are there and now you have a changeable bulb showing through that piece of plastic. You can buy the 194 base at the local auto parts store the kind that pushes into a hole
