Default 2005 Headlight failure

The dealer wants $850.00 to replace both bulbs. Are they crazy/ Do I have options? I'm new to this chat stuff. Can anyone help?

They are not crazy, just capitalists.

You do have options. You can replace yourself, or find an independent repair shop to replace them. You can find the bulbs for much less than dealer list.

Some members have also purchased bulbs from Ebay as well, but there is a larger range of prices (and quality).

We just had our 06 lamps replaced at lucious garage and they are great. The whole process was easy and quick and the lights work really well.

highly recommended.

Is the dealer replacing just the bulbs, or also the controllers? Toyota has at times insisted both be replaced or the failures will recur.
