Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2003 - Shooting Flames - CEL Came On
I bought a 3" "Godsnow" catback exhaust off of ebay to experiment (and i needed a new exhaust since my old one was wrecked and I was low on funds). I did alot of research before i made the purchase and took advice from Slimjimmn, a guy who did the same thing. I talked to him and he seemed pretty happy with his purchase. During the video I just rev the car up and i did notice it slightly shooting flames, something i didnt really notice previously. Im not sure exactly if its unburned fuel or a rich condition but thats not the code my CEL is currently throwing (coolant issues).

My car had been sitting in the garage for over 5 hours after short drive this morning. I went into the garage ( without the FOB ) and heard a strange buzzing sound. After walking around I determined it was coming from underneath the rear of the prius. I opened a couple of doors and the hatch and the sound was definitely exterior not interior and continuous.
I don't know how long this had been going on but it was continuous for at least four minutes. I thought the best thing to do would be to take the car for a short spin. I went inside the house to get the FOB and returned to the garage - the noise was still there? I approached the right rear bumper to get a better listen and it stopped suddenly. I guess the difference was the proximity of the FOB?
Prius (2004-09) :: AC Not Shooting Out Hot / Cold Air
So my wife was just out earlier today when she complained that her A/C wasn't working. So I did some research and got some A/C Recharge for it. Still nothing. It's not shooting out hot/cold air. I cannot even feel or hear the A/C starting at all.

So when I have any of the headlights on, and I then off my car and open the door, my Prius doesn't warn me that I've left anything on... Shouldn't my car beep at me to turn them off?

Is there supposed to be a warning sound indicator?
Prius (2010-12) :: New DDM HID Turns Off Itself If Turn Headlight On
Just installed DDM HID 35w 5000K. But strange issue. If I turn on HID first before start the car, one side turns off by itself in few seconds every single time. However, HID (both sides) stay on fine everytime (so far ) if I start the car first then turn headlight on. Could it be bad ballast or else?

I sometimes manually cut the headlights on during the day and I noticed that there is no bell or dinger that alerts me that they're on when the car is cut off. I assume the lights will cut themselves off after a period of time? Just concerned I might kill the battery if I don't notice I left them on.

Passenger side light is not working. When the regular lights are on the bulb is not working, when the high beams are on, its working fine.
I guess this is called the headlight (H11 bulb).

What could be causing the two dark dips in this headlight pattern? These are supposed to be the LED headlights. The cut-off is pretty good, but the dark area on the left is noticeable on the road. I didn't notice the one on the right until I lined up this shot against the garage door.

I have seen many mods to headlights in the 2012 Prius, many of them have upgraded to HIDS and what not. My question is the little bulb in the top of the headlight housing i see is like a blue or LED color, yet i cannot find anything about them anywhere. Love the look and would match my HID kit once i get installed this weekend......
View 19 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Cable Melted Next To Headlight After Bulb Shattered
About a month ago I replaced both of the main headlights in my Gen 3. I've noticed since that the light from both seemed a little skewed and thought maybe I didn't lock them back in fully. i finally checked them today and was able to get the left side light straightened out, but when I went to check the right hand (passenger) side one (which isn't working again), i realized that it must have come out.
Essentially the light bulb is shattered/exploded and it melted part of the cable next to it, and is now stuck to that cable. Besides being partially melted, the cable also has some exposed wires. i don't know what those wires do, but I can't imagine it's a good thing to leave it exposed next to a live circuit from the headlight.
See the attached picture. What that cable is that melted and if it's possible to replace it myself, or do I need to take it in?
Prius (2010-12) :: Small Gap Between Headlight Assembly And Body Panel
A few weeks ago my 2010 Prius was involved in a minor front end collision. The car has since been repaired. Today I noticed that the passenger side headlight assembly (which was replaced) doesn't seem to fit quite right. There is a small gap between the assembly and the body panel at the most extreme point on the side of the car. Is this just a cosmetic issue, or could water seep in at the location and cause internal damage?
