Do the 2015-2017 OEM tail lights fit in the 2012-2014 Prius v? I saw there are some aftermarket options available but I prefer staying OEM just with the more classic red look of the second generation Prius v. I apologize if this is an annoying FAQ; I did a bunch of searching but couldn't find the answer. Thanks in advance for any help!
From what i know, yes, 2015-2017 was just a face lift, not a new model in any sort of way. But personally if i was you, id pick some valenti taillights instead, full LED and really updates the look. They randomly pop up on ebay.
There is no Gen 2 Prius v. In 2015 there was a facelift and mechanical changes to improve front crash testing results but is was still the same generation Prius v.
(Updated with correct ebay link) I hate the clear oem lights. Found the valenti ones on ebay. Toyota Prius V Wagon Full LED Tail Lamp | eBay I found a similar question posted in the prius c forum. For that car, you need to also replace a short plug-in wiring harness to convert from early to late lights. 2015 Tail Light Retrofit | PriusChat I don’t know if the connectors on the early and late v’s are the same, but if they are not, hopefully there’s a similar solution. I think I’ll just get the valenti ones.
(Edit- I think the later lights only have led stop/tail, so flash rate probably not a problem.) I looked at used taillights on ebay, and the connector looks identical. Probably you’d have to add resistors or a different flasher so the later led turn signals would flash at the right rate. .
