Prius (2010-12) :: No Beep Alert When Leave The Headlight On
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.

Is there a hack to add interactive graphics (shown below) to the backup camera if
[1] you don't have Intelligent Parking Assist, or
[2] you don't want to install an aftermarket kit that changes your dash interface? What's the least invasive way to add this feature?
Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Nav Traffic Alert And Detour Routing
After 4k miles, I'm beginning to really like the NAV in my 450h. The lockout in motion is a pain, but the traffic alert and detour routing is wonderful. Only yesterday it sent me around a wreck on the bridge in Cincinnati, and I really enjoyed watching the masses stewing as I crossed the Ohio River on an adjacent bridge and popped up on the first exit after the traffic jam.
Making peace with the NAV seems to be mostly a matter of getting beyond the Garmin.
Anyway, now I like the Lexus NAV.

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?

Drove my car on Wednesday morning for about 5 minutes, when I parked and turned it off, sensed a really bad and strange smell but couldn't pinpoint if it was the car, or the parking garage at home (which is underground, locked), or outside. Dismissed it from my mind. Two hours later, drove the car to work (10 minutes) parked it in underground garage. Turned engine off. Coming from hood on the right side. Got out, thinking I would lift the hood and have a look but as I approached right side of car I could see flames shooting out from underneath the right headlight (could see the flames through the headlight). Took a bit of time to find water hose in the parking garage but finally got it out.
Car is a write off.... absolutely was not sabotaged, no arsonists, nothing ..... Toyota guy from Toyota place across the street walked over to have a look, said it was a total loss. Doesn't seem like Toyota is really concerned either! I was really shaken as I feared that there could be a chain reaction of all the parked cars going up in flames. Smoke was thick, people were choking... seems that other than getting a cheque from the insurance, there is nothing I can do to find out the cause of the fire. People keep saying in various forums that nothing is located on the right..that could catch on fire.

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 3 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?
