The headlights on my 2007 toyota prius have started to randomly turn off. Sometimes it's just one light, sometimes it's all of them. I live on a windy county road with no lighting. Last night i completed my drive home at 25 mph, with the turn indicator lighting my way. This was one my way home from the toyota dealer, where they could not duplicate the problem.

Hid light randomly go out. Sometimes the driver side, sometimes the passenger side...sometimes both. They usually come back on by turning them off and back on at the switch. Dealer quoted $700 per light to fix. Ridiculous for early failure of a "upgraded" light option that we had to pay extra for when we purchased the car. *kb
