    Hello,
    I just got a brand new 2014 C3 2 days ago. There are few little things on the car that I'd need your help to make it better for my daily driving. There's no map light on the rear seat, I need to get some light in the back so my boys can read books. The steering wheel doesn't feel very comfortable, I'd love to have a leather wrapped like the JDM one. I've seen some knocked off JDM sport leather wrapped steering wheel on ebay (~$200 from Taiwan), wondering if anyone here has that steering wheel. I also noticed that the other 2 big prius brothers also have leather wrapped steering wheels but I'm not sure if it would fit my C or not.

    Yeah, I'm afraid the steering would come off while I'm driving :) ...
    How did you wire them up? Yup, It looks pretty bright.

    But there are a lot of other responses stating it was a good product.
