    Hid headlamps on 2007 toyota prius go out all the time. Turning lights off and back on usually corrects the problem. It happens to both sides independently. Bulbs still work fine, but. *tr

    The left hid headlight on my toyota 2007 prius went out at 63,000 miles. Took to the dealer for service. I was told that not only would the bulb have to be changed but the chip in back of the bulb would need to be replaced also. Price to replace the bulb/chip was $490.00. Neither were covered under warranty. Also advised by the dealer that they usually see this happening in pairs and could expect to see my right…

    2007 prius, touring model-right headlamp went out while driving-only 26,000 miles on car so far. Next operation, light working again. Poses very big safety hazard. Told that my platinum certified warranty and extended 100,000 mile warranty would not cover this $400 + repair--and i have only owned the car less than 2 months. *tr

Every so often, both headlight stop working while driving. And once, in the fog, when i turned on my foglights, the headlights turned off.

    My 2007 prius has the hid headlamps, which are too costly to repair and will randomly go out while driving at night...clearly dangerous. I try to have the bulbs replaced and toyota dealer says its a 200.00 to 300.00 dollar job to repair (money that i do not have) while the car was still under warranty the las vegas dealer fixed the issue ( or i thought they did) but less then two years later i am having the same…
