Default hid headlamp replacements

My first headlamp was replaced under warrenty for my 2006 Prius. The second headlamp was out of warrenty, the estimate was 500.00 plus some. Talked with Toyota customer service and they repayed me completly for the replace ment. Good car. good company.

I do not think one needs to. The DOT has been on Toyota's case regarding these lights.

There are ambulance chaser's out there advertising suing regarding HID failures. It's just good business.

I love the HID lights, but I do wish they were more reliable.

Angry Re: hid headlamp replacements

I was told by Piercey Toyota of San Jose that headlamp bulbs are not covered under warranty. I paid $545 ($314 for the part and 205 for labor) to have the bulb replaced at about 48K. Funny how both bulbs are on equal amounts of time but the other bulb is still going strong at 75K.

Toyota paid for the replacement of both our headlights in March 08. Last week the drivers side went out, I paid to have it replaced....$300...called Toyota. They offered to pay for the replacement of the passenger side when it goes out. Today it went out....go figure. -------Here's the important part---Toyota said the bulbs they are now using are "permanent, wont need replacing anytime soon." She said these new bulbs are different, and wont "create problems with the computer on the Prius".
