This is the THIRD time I have shelled out $400 to replace a light bulb at Toyota! Unbelievable! The idiot auto engineers at Toyota designed a car that requires the entire front end be REMOVED to replace the headlamp!! I only just replaced the bulbs 30,000 miles ago!! Toyota is extorting consumers to pay for their stupid engineering!!!!!!!!

Prius LS

  • Automatic transmission

It was pretty terrible to be driving home on a country road and both of my low beams to go out. I had to ride all the way home with my high beams on, which was very stressful. This is the 4th set of headlights we have put in in a year!

Prius

  • Automatic transmission

This was expensive and annoying. Basically, when I took the car in for iths annual safety inspection, one headlight was not working. At that point, the repair shop installed one new bulb. A few months later, I was driving at night, and people in other cars kept flashing their lights at me. Finally, I got out and checked my headlights and none of them were working. I had to take the car to the dealer to get all bulbs replaced. This was not covered under warranty.

MOJOR PROBLEM IF YOUR HEADLIGHTS DON'T WORK. I REPLACE ONE LIGHT ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF AGO, THEN I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHERE BOTH LIGHTS WENT OUT. I CHANGED THE LIGHTS THE LAST TWO TIMES BUT THIS HAS TO BE FIXED.
