I was quoted $466 just for the price of my bulb for the headlight of my Toyota Prius. For a non luxury car it so expensive that a lot of people will choose to make due with their flickering one. It is outrageous that Toyota did not give a more affordable choice. It is going to be more dangerous out there.

I have a 2004 Prius and the front right headlight is working only intermittently. This happens at least three or four times a week; I haven't seen any pattern. I had my dealer check the light and its connections and I was told that the hid light bulb was not working and that it needed to be replaced and that I could only replace them as a pair. The reason being that they are somehow connected to each other and that one failing would lead to the other failing as well. The cost was an outrageous $452 each with labor and that my extended warranty doesn't cover it!

Driver's side high intensity discharge headlamp began switching off about a month ago. Last weekend while traveling at night, the headlamp went out about 15 times in 3 hours. Each time turning the headlamp switch off and back on temporarily solved the problem. I brought the car to the dealer and they replaced the hid bulb for $355. I had the same problem with the passenger side headlamp six months ago and replacing the bulb has solved the problem (to date). This is a disconcerting issue. I have not received an explanation as to why this occurs as opposed to a normal headlamp just burning out and then being able to replace it for twenty bucks.
