Toyota Prius V Taillights

The Toyota Prius V is a hybrid gasoline-electric multipurpose vehicle that entered the North American market in 2011. The compact multipurpose vehicle closely resembles a minivan in form and function with the "V" in this Toyota Prius variant standing for versatility. The taillights on this vehicle serve both form and function as an important aspect to safe driving as well as styling.

What is the difference between red and amber turn signals?

Red and amber turn signals are both available in aftermarket parts for the Prius V, and both offer different benefits.

  • Red turn signals usually speak to a style preference. They reduce the colors on the taillights to only red and white, creating a clean and simple aesthetic preferred by some drivers.
  • Amber turn signals are the default color for most international markets because yellow or amber is the universal color of "attention" or "caution." Amber turn signals are a safety choice for many Toyota drivers because they are bright and cant be confused for brake lights.
What are fiber optic taillights?

Fiber optic taillights are taillights that use fiber optic cables to create light points or light bars in the taillight. The original source of the illumination may be halogen or LED, although LED is more common, and these are available from aftermarket manufacturers. Due to the versatility of fiber optic cables, it is possible to find intricate designs and luxury-level styling with these kinds of taillights.

How do you know what kind of bulbs are needed?

The bulbs needed for replacement in Toyota Prius V taillights may vary depending on the year or available trim packages, so it is important to be sure you are getting the ones that will fit your vehicle. There are two ways for you to tell what kind of bulbs your Prius V needs:

  1. Consult your Prius V owners manual. In it, you will find diagrams and labels corresponding to each taillight bulb with descriptions.
  2. Remove the Toyota bulb you want to replace and inspect it for the information you need. There should be identifying numbers printed on the metal casing for the bulb.
What is the difference between factory and custom taillights?

Factory taillights are meant to emulate the taillights available on a stock Prius. They fit into the existing space for the taillight without any needed modification and look like the original Toyota taillight. You can find these used, refurbished, and brand new from aftermarket providers. Custom taillights are manufactured exclusively by aftermarket retailers, and they are meant to impart a very individual style and function to the Prius.
