    Today, JUNE 26, 2010, a mechanic installed the driver's HID bulb in less than 20 minutes and he charged only $40.
    A Toyota dealer quoted me over $700 to do the same thing. I am a woman therefore the dealer thought I was STUPID!!!

    Welcome to the site. They pull that on everyone so don't take it personally. The best defense is to do as much as you can.

    You did brilliantly, always check around first. Some of these Bast_rds have absolutely NO ethics, including some dealers. and, keep reading Priuschat.
