- LED Nirvana! In this video I install 4 LED bulbs for the Prius and explain the procedure to help other wanting to do this same thing. The light is much whiter and looks a lot better.

I watched 2 other videos and yours was by far the most clear and straight forward. You really simplified this task for me. Thanks
Thanks! I try to make them as clear as I can!
Thanks so much for the video! I’m changing out my 2010 headlights and parking lights to LED. The insight is much appreciated.
So happy that it helped!
Helpful and easy to follow. Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
ICE coolant reservoir, not windshield washer fluid at 1:59.
Good catch! I didn't realize that I said that even when watching it back! 😂
Just finished mine. Dealer wanted $110.00 to change it. I admit that its tricky to get to and you MUST take out the fluid reservoir. Another challenge was finding the hole again after you've changed the bulb. Other than that its a piece of cake. Took about 10 minutes and some change.
Yep, it's not hard to do but if you take your time you will find the holes when inserting the new LED bulbs. And now they look great!
Damn! What a rip off. It takes 2 minutes and $3 of bulbs. Crazy!
I was able to change the bulb WITHOUT removing the fluid reservoir! Contorted my way to finding it. Took 3-5 min max. Dealer wanted 59.99.
Thanks for posting the video. From where did you purchase the coolant reservoir cover? You said it comes on models released in Japan, but not in the US. Thanks!
I found that on eBay around 7 years ago! I'm not sure if they are still available or not.
Thanks for posting this video. Are the bulbs the same for both the top (shown in the video) and side (yellow strip) lights?
Yes, they are the LED version for 168/194 size regular bulbs.
Nice
Thanks
Thank you for the video. I think it would be easier to take the whole assembly out by removing the 2 bolts on top. Also when you are changing bulbs out you have to wear gloves so your skin oils don't get on the bulbs as it can shorten their life. I've experienced a bulb didn't work at all because I handled it with my bear hands.
On the Prius I would have to take off the front bumper to remove the headlights, as it wasn't necessary there was no point. It's not just removing the 2 top bolts to get it out, there are bolts that can only be accessed by removing the bumper. As far as oils in you skin, that it true, but not with LED bulbs. I just wipe them clean after installing them with an alcohol wipe anyway, even if it's not needed.
Bumper removal is not needed, a few screws under the wheel liner , take out and peel a small space to get socket on the hidden bolt. Then just the 2 top screws and assembly comes out
I have the same oil catch can. Where did get or make the BRACKET you have for your Catch Can?
It's just a simple "L" bracket I picked up at the local hardware store. It's about 1"x3".
so... what if more than half the bulbs are burned out on that circuit? Do you think that would blow the fuse?
That's a good question. I don't believe so unless you had a short in the circuit.
I didn’t have to remove anything and it took less than 5 minutes to change. Very easy👍🏽
Good job. I have big hands and removing the filler tube gives a lot more room to maneuver and get the RF bulb out. The LF bulb required nothing to be moved. My wife was able to get her smaller hand in there but she didn't know what to feel for.
@@jimsgaragetoys great video though. My hands are small and it was fairly easy for me to do. Many different ways to get it done👍🏽
@@tivone13 Indeed. I just show I managed to do it. I figure that everyone can use what helps them.
I already have led headlights but still need to do the parking light bulbs and the license plate I already have the lamps.. but i’m a little scared to do it myself
Well, this video will show you how to do the parking bulbs near the headlight bulbs. It's very easy to do these bulbs. I'll be replacing the license plate bulbs in the Prius soon and I'll post a video on that process too so subscribe so you know when it loads.
@@jimsgaragetoys oke 👍🏻 yes i also have the license plate bulbs. Same lamps
🇺🇸 beautiful posters in the garage! I see you change the low beam. Is there a high beam too?
There is a high beam bulb too but I haven't bothered with it as the high beams on this car don't get used much if at all. When my wife commutes back and forth from work when dark there is always traffic around were only the low beams are used. The high beam bulbs would be very easy to swap out though if needed.
@@jimsgaragetoys thank you!
@@seymorefact4333 You're welcome and thanks for the comment on my posters! 😍
Is it the same bulb type for all 4 locations?
Yes, luckily this bulb is extremely popular on most cars.
I can reach to get the bulb holder. You need to have a smaller hand & arm. Make sure you wear long sleeve. It is too much to take off the coolant tank.
Since when is removing 2 bolts too much to do? 🤣 It literally takes less than a minute to slide it out of the way and give you more room. Kind of a must for those of us with bigger hands!
Did you figure out the driver's side okay? I saw your question but it didn't show up so I figure that you deleted it.
