Just a small correction. At 2:50, he demonstrates removing the plastic cover over the light on the bottom passenger door, and indicates that you should pry from the edge closest to the end of the door. While true for the passenger door, it's the reverse for the driver's door light cover - pry the edge farthest from the edge of the door. This is because the door light assemblies are identical, not mirror images.
+John Gee I agree
Thank you for the feedback. We will keep that in mind for our next Prius installation video.
Thank you for the video! This helped us replace all the interior lights on a 2010 Prius we just purchased 👍🏼
Great video! Thanks! I was a mechanic for Toyota before the Prius but videos like this are extremely helpful.
Thanks for the positive feedback!
Thanks! This helped me alot. Just replaced my interior lights to led with help from this video
We are glad to be of assistance!
Wow, might be the best bulb installation video I’ve ever seen 👍
Thank you so much for the high praise! 😃

Thank you for this video
Just finished installing my new bulbs thanks a lot !!!
Glad to hear! Thank you for watching the video!
thank you so much love from Pakistan
Just did mine on my new to me prius V. Thanks a ton!
Glad to hear! Thanks for tuning in!
thank you for the video!!!
Thanks for watching!
very useful thank you
We are glad to be of assistance!
Good job. I bought a Prius in 2013 and 3 months later I replaced all the incandescent bulbs with LEDs. I had no instruction and it was a bit harder, but I did it without much problem. My LEDs are mostly on flat panels consisting of little lighted bumps say about 1-1/4" square and with wires leading to the plug in mechanism. It would have been a bit easier if this video had been made at that time. Good job.
Thanks for watching!
Great video ❤
Thank You!!
Thanks for tuning in!
thanks for this
Thank you for tuning in!
Great help
We are glad to be of assistance!
Awesome video +PrecisionLED . Can't wait to reference this when all my LEDs come in!
Do you have an instructional video on replacing the turn signals with amber LEDs?
+Ryan Jones We do not.
Great thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hello is it only 1 type of led light that fits all interior ? Will this also be compatbile ? WRC 681681 Philips X-Treme Ultinon Ledx2 W5W 12V
Idk if you'll see this. But Im disabled with ptsd and I could understand this. Saved. Thumbs up. Might have to call ya to get some lights. Are these cooler? Do they last longer? Softer on your eyes? Burn less juice? Awesome video. I found this looking for "Ground effects 3rd. Gen Prius"
We appreciate the kind words! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Yes, the LEDs are indeed much brighter than halogens, last longer, and require less power from your battery.
Do you have a video on how to install LED lights for a 2015 prius 3 with solar roof? I just recently purchased LED lights from you but I can't install them because they are not the same as what you have in this instructional video. Thank you very much.
Thank you for purchasing with PrecisionLED. Unfortunately, we do not have a video for the 2015 Prius with Solar Roof just yet. However, we will keep an eye out for one out here in Los Angeles for an installation video. Also, the installation process should be very similar to that of the video.
stupid question, does switching to LED, help car run more efficiently, better mpg over long haul?
‼️‼️ i was replacing my lights today and everything was going great until i got to my drivers side door and now none of my interior lights will turn on. i may have been too rough with the wiring is all i can think of, does anyone know how i can fix this? ‼️‼️
Can anyone tell me what socket these bulbs have? Thanks.
A bit off topic, but I’d like to see a video showing how to wire a power socket into those front map lights. It would be great to power my dash cam ( mounted top center of the windshield ) w/o a long wire run. 😊
Thanks for the suggestion!
Great video! I can't seem to find the LED parking lights on your website; have I missed something? Thank you in advance.
You can find the proper fitment for the parking light here: www.precisionled.com/shop-by-led/automotive-leds/t10-194-led-bulb.html
Please note, you would have to adjust the quantity to 2.
Super LEDs
Glad you like them!
Good video. There's one more bulb inside the cabin box under the dashboard. It lights up only when the headlights are on. Any ways to replace it
This light is usually already LED and already integrated into the console and unfortunately not replaceable.
PLEASE make a video like this for the second generation Prius, please!
Thank you for your interest. We will keep an eye our for a 2nd gen Prius out here in Los Angeles for a video. However, the installation process should be very similar to as shown in this video. The lights are very easy to access with the trim tool kit, which comes complimentary with all interior light kit purchases.
Very useful video. Question for you, i ordered wrong bulbs for dome light and realized they are festoon bulbs I need. Do they have to be 30 MM exactly? On Amazon it shows only 30 MM as ones that will fit my 2012 Prius plug in. Thanks a lot!
No, that is not the case. We carry 29mm and 31mm LEDs that would both fit into your socket.
@@PrecisionLED what about a 38mm ?
@@PrecisionLED does 31 mm fits for the backseat headlight socket? Thanks
I blew the DOME fuse doing this. If you also blow this fuse, it’s fuse 29 - 10A inside the fuse box on the right next to the engine.
And for the flor? The orange light ?
Do you have the video how to install, mount LED headlight for 201x Prius (I have 2015 Prius plug-in)?
Which headlight socket is for 2015 Prius plugin? (installation/how to mount the LED power controller as well)
Jake Ha My apologies, we do not at this time.
The plug in don’t got no T10 parking light bulb lol. It got a LED strip. So no light to replace
The lense on the driver's side door pops out the side closest to the front of the car, reverse for the passenger side. I just left it plugged in rather than sliding the new bulb all the way in before testing...makes it easier and quicker.
Thanks for the tip!
On our 2015 Prius Four the door lights are different: the lamp holder and cover are gray plastic, not clear, and there is a clip at the connector end that you release to allow that whole assembly to slide backwards. Then you can remove the cover and replace the bulb. then replace the cover and slide the whole thing back in. And the trunk light has a single-ended bulb.
Thank you for the info!
Also the trunk clips he says must be bent out a little...the dome light in the rear also was a tight fit.
Thanks for the advice!
Where do I get the tools that you use in the video. Your site links don't help me.
Here is a direct link to our trim tool kit: www.precisionled.com/trim-tool.html
I tried changing my map lights but the stock bulbs won't budge couldn't figure to get them out they are fixed really hard... Need Help
You should be able to access your map lights exactly as shown in the video. Are you removing the lens with our trim tools? With our tool kit, the bulbs are typically very simple to access.
Trying to change Map light on Gen 3 these stock bulbs wont budge really fixed hard ... Need help how to pull them out
Wiggle them side to side while pulling them out.
When a bulb is difficult to remove, the easiest method would be to use some tape to wrap around the stuck bulb, and pull to remove. You can find a video tutorial of this method here: www.realsimple.com/home-organizing/home-improvement/remove-stuck-light-bulb
are the parking light legal to drive in California? also what is the light? 8k or 6k in this vide?
Thank you for your interest. You would have to check with your local laws and regulations. However, we have never heard of anyone being pulled over with the 6 or 8K color temperatures. It is typically the colors with the hues that are illegal. Also, the 8K is used in this video.
I would also recommend using the 4300k T10 lights in the priuses with LED lights (u know they r LED when they got two projectors in each housing). 4300k Matches up perfectly with the projector lights
I have a 2016 Prius, do you have a kit that fits my car?
Thank you for your interest. Yes, we do have listed that the kit linked in the description is compatible with your 2016 as well.
What's the type of the bulb installed in passanger dome light?
Thank you for your interest. This light would use a 31mm LED bulb.
Should there be a problem with these lights cause heat in the wires that fire bursts in the vehicle? Because in my country a guy who owns similar car installed this kind of led lights and car was burnt. Any comment?
Yes, he bought crappy leds. When you buy leds test them with a 14v(or of the voltage your car is when the engine is running(ready state)) power supply for at least an hour(likely an overkill, but better safe than sorry) and make sure the hot spot of the led bulb doesn't go above 80C (specially for the ones you're going to be using in the interior). I have all the lights of my gen 2 replaced for cheap leds from ali and they all work fine without any sign of burning. Granted i did receive a pair or two that burned in the first hour of use. Also leds don't cause heat in the wires, they heat themselves up. I reduced the power requirement of my car by 20-30W by changing the 6 exterior lights using t10 filament bulbs for led bulbs.In the end it's worth it but as with everything you have to do your homework.
We have not heard of any issues like this with any of our LEDs.
I have installed all lights except the dome light and trunk light. They are the only ones which are the different type of bulb. They simply do not fit. I have measured them and they are 31mm in length, every single website I go to says that the 31mm (de3175) is the right one for this car. Yet it does not fit and I can see that the standard bulb is around 2-3mm shorter. I might be able to bend the metal on the trunk one to get it to fit as you show in the video, but the dome light simply will not fit. I just don't get it. I am doing pink led's for my wife's car. I got the 12-smd ones. I'm wondering if I should do the 6-smd instead? But it shouldn't matter since they are both supposed to be 31mm in length anyways. Perhaps I could go with a 28mm, even though the car does not call for that and no one else seems to have any problem with the 31mm it calls for. Any ideas on what to do from here?
Thank you for your interest. Did you purchase your LEDs from PrecisionLED? If so, please contact us directly at help@precisionled.com, and we can resolve this matter right away.
In a 2012 3, dome is definitely a 3175 LED spec 31mm; the trunk is suggested to be a 3021 LED spec 27mm.
I need these. Where are you guys located and how much for the entire car ?
We are located in Los Angeles, however, we ship all over the world! Check the description for a direct product link!
How to change uk toyota prius 2012 model light
Moazzam Mahmood same as in this video. Just that there is no parking bulbs to change since the 2012 facelift got LED stripe as parking light instead of T10 bulb.
What about the footwell & glove box lamps?
I believe the 3rd gen Prius does not come with any footwell or glove box lights.
Anyone know how to change the orange lights on the floor board by the pedals and in the glove box?
I do believe the lights you are referring to would be stock LED, which you cannot replace as they are soldered to a chip and board.
@@PrecisionLED I replaced them a few months ago and it is an oem part from Toyota but it’s a used in a newer lexus. So it gets rid of the orange tint. These are expensive tho lol
@@PrecisionLED part# 81080-22040 Lamp Assembly
Gotcha, thanks for the info!
Are these crystal white or cool white?
Thank you for your interest. We do have listed the 8000K cool white LEDs are installed.
cool video....I need that knife looking thing to install my LEDs ...can I get that on ebay ...lol
Tung Quach You can get them here: www.precisionled.com/trim-tool.html
4:20; 2016 Prius hatchlight design is different. Different, maybe harder trick to remove the plastic to expose the bulb.
Thank you for the tip. We will keep this in mind once we get our hands on a 2016 Prius for an updated installation video.
Your welcome
great video thanks. Can you let me know what is the bulb type/model used, esp the one at the front?
Thanks for tuning in! If you are referring to the map lights, we used a T10 fitment.
@@PrecisionLED sorry I meant above the driver and passenger seat
The vanity mirror lights would also use a T10 fitment.
The instructions are wrong for removing the light from the drivers side door. Unfortunately you have to read the reviews (John Gee thank you very much for the correct way to remove the light) to find the correct way to remove the bulb. Fortunately most CZcamsrs alert people of errors in their videos without having to read all the reviews.
how many millimeters is passenger dome led????
+Skybite Shark You can find it here: www.precisionled.com/festoon-29mm-4smd-leds.html
Tnx so much sir
Great video...but this isn’t a 2009. The 3rd generation you were referring to are the 2010-2015 model years. The 2009 is the last year of the 2nd Gen. Prius.
Thanks for the input!
I have the 2012 prius. I love the car. But I really don’t like the oldschool green dashboard lights. Cars didn’t had old green dashboard lights anymore for a long time in 2012. The prius is like a futuristic car but in some parts they aren’t so futuristic at all
I have a 2014 Prius and the door light assembly is slightly different than shown in the video. Not sure which model year Toyota changed it but it's identical to the one in the Gen 4 Prius. PrecisionLED's Gen 4 video is helpful in that case. czcams.com/video/n4nU2KAQUi4/video.html
Thank you so much for sharing this!
WARNING: READ BEFORE INSTALLING. Bulbs fall out of almost every area easily. Headlight, Vanity Mirror, Doors. READ:
The bulb metal is very slick, and the nub is too narrow to make a completely solid hold like normal. Use Electrical Tape around the bulb and car's female connection, AND, Pull Out the Copper Terminals to a 45 degree angle (sideways) with a small thin object like a paper clip, or even use Paper. Slide it under the terminals and bend them outward, then press them in, and E-Tape them to the connector. If you cannot, figure out another way without disrupting the electrical contact. Or, you can place maybe e-tape or celophane plastic, maybe paper, wound around the white plastic of the bulb underneath the two terminals so that there is a tighter fit for the nub.
Horror story and fix: I lost the bulb inside the headlight, too loose of a connection. This is the area for running day lights. Not even a breath of air made the bulb slip out of the bulb harness connector, and lost in the headlight. You can't just take off your headlight to jiggle out the bulb, my prius is delicate, not easy. I had to use a bendable wire with a gooey substance at the end of it to fish it out, not many people know this exists, but it's called Butyl Tape (clear, slightly yellowish colored goo for mounting on objects), stuck onto a coat hanger or in my case a bendable magnetic arm (Ace Hardware). That took me 6 minutes or so to fish out, let's have a race right? The Prius bulb hole isn't forgiving so you need many tries to even get the bulb situated long-ways to come back out straight and not sideways; Falls back into the headlight, staring at you behind the plastic like in a museum. Forever gone, preserved in time.
Moral of Story: Use Electrical Tape (permanently adhere the bulb to the harness).
Yes, the vanity mirror and doors also lost connection. The bulbs fell out! Horrifying. Don't be unaware like I was, E-TAPE IT!
