    I dig the DRLs. Are they LED? What color are the turn signals in it? Got a link where these can be purchased?

    I searched "prius bumper" on Ebay and then sorted using "Distance: Nearest first..." I had to drive 60 miles to Sacramento to pick it up. A new bumper cover from the dealer is only $200 or so I believe, but I was receiving quotes from $250-$500 just to get it painted.

    How bright are the DRLs? Anywhere as bright as the OEM DRLs?

    None of Revier DRLs are as bright as stock DRLs. In fact, they can't substitute the stock DRLs as required by some countries that mandate them. That's why I have mine always on in ACC mode and don't need to dim them at nights.

    I agree with 32kcolors. The Revier DRLs are not bright but "glow." I find it advantage that they glow since you can leave them on ALL the time as I don't see a need to turn them off, regardless if it's daytime or nighttime. Mine are tapped into the low beam, but after having them for a couple of days, it totally makes sense to tap them into the ACC like 32kcolors which I'll probably do soon.

    Thanks for the tip 32K!

    The 32kcolors & D Unit, I was hoping they would be just as bright. I love the look of them but don't want to give up the functionality of my DRLs.

    Attempted to swap out my parking lights to an amber bulb. When installing the new bulb, it became dislodged from the socket and fell somewhere in the engine bay (or maybe even into the headlight housing). I'll be damned. I gave up hunting after a half hour. :)

    Never finished the install because 1 bulb doesn't do me much good.

    How'd that go? Is there a way to 'cleanly' install the relay harness on the Prius? Only reason I ask is because I am thinking of going with a HID kit with a relay.

    It's not too bad, ran the wire from the driver side all the way to the back and under all the carpets and what not in the hatch.

    I was thinking you tapped into the fuse box. What made you go the trunk route?
