Two Mods That Actually Made My Prius Feel Safer

Hi all,

Just wanted to share two upgrades I did on my 5th-gen Prius that made a big difference in daily driving.

1. stick-on wide-angle side mirror
The stock mirrors view field felt narrow, so I stick-on wide-angle side mirror made for the Gen 5.
This one also keep the BSM light visible (semi-transparent section) and the extra field of view makes lane changes way easier.


2. OEM style Digital rearview mirror w/ dashcam
I’ve always felt the rear visibility on this car… just isn’t great. And with no rear wiper, it basically drops to zero the moment it starts raining. I eventually found an OEM-style digital rearview mirror (Sinjet H10 Pro). The specs are actually pretty impressive — super smooth 50fps rear feed, a screen that goes up to 3000 nits, and no clutter or distracting info on the display. Night and rain visibility are so much better now.


Installation note: removing the taillight was a pain — definitely something I’d let a shop handle next time. But totally worth it once installed.

I posted more on my Instagram as well..
