Toyota Prius headlight problems
July 11, 2010 – 3:24 pmIt seems Toyota is not that HQ as we thing. A big number of proud owners of Toyota Prius hybrids are reporting headlight problems. It seems that 2006, 2007 and 2008 model of Toyota Prius have a big problems with a HID headlights.
The problem with some of this headlights is that they shut off without any reason. Sometimes they are serving well and sometimes just in the middle of the trip they go off. The dealerships cannot solve the problem and Toyota has no idea how to resolve this problem.
Probably it is just a mistake during the construction and manufacturing of the car, but there is no hard evidence for this. It sounds like a loose connection or badly manufactured bulb.

If you are owner of Toyota Prius and have this problem you may be advised by your dealership to replace HID computer which can cost you up to $1.100. If this cannot solve the problem the next advice is to change the bulb which can be another $400. Of course if this not going to work the next step is to change the whole headlight assembly which can be another 1.100 US dollars.

I think that $2.600 is too much so if you have this problem the best is to file a complaint with NHTSA and have your car recall or at least make Toyota to pay for your problems with a headlights.
