Rear Sway bar- Prius

Rear Sway Bar

Installing a Progress Rear Sway bar on a 2006 Prius.
Oh here are my install PICs with the original bolts. Sprayed it down with PB blaster.



New one on top and old on bottom.



 


Had some trouble breaking the bolts loose so temporarily removed this brake line thing to get more leverage. Still having trouble I heated up the bolts.
 

Got the new bar in.

 

Remember to tighten this back.

 

All DONE!!! Super easy.

Front Camera Prius

Adding a Front Camera

Done!!! Took a day of guessing and almost gave up but it works! For a 2006 with factory reverse camera. I did the reverse camera anytime mod first months ago then found a cheap $12 ebay camera. So I have one button to turn on/off then a switch to change feeds.



 

Here is a quick pic of my switch.I cut the input from pin 27. FRONT is the input from the new front camera,the middle pin goes to pin 27 (V+ red) on the back of the MFD,and the last pin in the input from pin 27 REVERSE cam. Added a blocking diode on pin 29 (CA+)


My test rig you can see the left wire is input from the FRONT cam, middle is output to the MFD,and right is the REAR input.
 

 



Here you can see the red cable below that is the input from the REVERSE cam the opther side of that was connected to PIN 27 which is now out MFD input pin. Ran a seperate wire to the same pin27 that I can swap my input on.

Extra install pics if it helps anyone.

   

I've moved the camera to the other side since this picture. Oh and strangly enough I did not ground the FRONT video input I only wrapped it around it'self. Any other place I grounded including to pins caused interference issues.

This package label will be very helpful.

 

If you're struggling to get the power wire onto the battery the black piece comes out.


Like so

 Under the OEM headlight is a spot for the OEM ballast but ours is smaller so I used the middle screw to attach the ballast then using short self tapping screws for the other holes.

 
 No the screws did not cause any damage.

I used this bolt on the left for the ground.

Next I mounted the control box and wrapped in electric tape.

At some point you need to take the OEM headlight bulb plug and plug right into the kit to trigger the lights on. I tapped up this connection as well.

Here is the old bulb coming out.

Sadly the kit did not come with gaskets so I had to cut the factory one a bit. I covered the holes in silicon after.

LEFT is OEM RIGHT is HID

Excuse the dirty headlights.

Other Side

Ran the wire to the other side through the bumper middle bar.

  

 

Tried a 4300K on the left and a 5000K on the right. Ended up keeping the 5000K

 
 

Put everything back together.

Adjust the lights too.
