    OK i changed both ballasts last night ,and on my test drive i didn't get to end of the driveway and the pass side went out................job was not that hard,bumper cover etc.. i am wondering now if i should have changed both bulbs since i had the lenses out,,,should i go back and change the bulbs?? or just hang myself from the garage rafters? ,,,,,,,, this is driving me crazy,,al this BS for 45 mpg is not worth it,now that there is a lot of cars out there getting 40 mpg ,,i think i'm done with Toyota after this,,i have had many good ones,but to screw owners with this problem is unforgivable !!!

    Change the bulbs. I have yet to see a bad ballast on the HID but the HID bulbs are a headache with the gen 2.
