Prius C side mirror assembly same as 2012 Yaris ?

[NYC-SE]

Hey uscmfu did you ever get the Prius C covers? If so did they fit?

I did some research and it seems that the Prius C covers are the same as the Euro spec Yaris covers so I am assuming they would fit but just want an actual "hands on" confirmation.

Euro Yaris part diagram here:

As you can see the part numbers are the same. Also was glad to see that the side mirror covers can be ordered pre-painted, the last 2 digits of the part number indicates paint code. One less thing to do.

I plan to do this mod some time this summer (maybe), just researching what would be involved right now. One thing I wonder is where to get the electrical connector which the signal lamps will plug into. Can't seem to find any part number for it. Does anybody know?

Hey NYC-SE

I never got the covers, didn't want to be guinea pig, plus already took a loss for the 2012 Prius covers and leds from Ebay :/

Sorry to hear about this, but if it makes you feel any better i think the reason they didnt fit is because they are taiwan made as compared to being OEM or OEM prius. even the 2012 or earlier yarises have the taiwan covers being a mismatch, so you'll have to buy the entire Taiwan mirror set/assembly.

here the camry, the yaris hatch and sedan, and the corolla all have interchangeable mirror glass and covers. i dunno about the prius as the prius here hasnt changed its model as of yet.

just my 0.02, im no ctscott (expert) though.

UPDATE:

Now I'm not so sure. I didn't have the full part numbers before. Now I do. Here are the part numbers for a RH mirror cover for:

US Yaris: 87915-52120-XX
Euro Yaris: 87915-52140-XX
Prius C: 87915-52170-XX

(XX=paint code)

Only difference is the second to last digit. I wish I knew what that digit signifies but I can't find any Toyota part number coding scheme breakdowns anywhere online. Does anyone know how to read a Toyota part number? CTScott maybe?

I think it may just signify model (or model variation) in which case it shouldn't matter. After all the US and Euro Yaris covers should fit each other (other than signal gap) so perhaps the "7" in the Prius # is simply because it is a different model yet the actual part is the same. Just conjecture I know. My gut and my eyes still tell me it will fit but would like to know for sure before I spend my money.

I tried for my 2014 Yaris didn't fit the covers look the same but the Prius C cover is shorter. Bought used Prius C mirrors from junk yard and cut my cover to fit lights so from the used mirrors I took the signals and pigtails.
