    This is the second headlight that has gone out on my 2010 Prius. First replaced at dealer. Do I need any special tools to replace this one myself...?
    Thanx for any input.

    Only special tools needed for changing the headlight bulbs is small hands (n)

    Think you've had bad luck on the bulb front though. Mine first set lasted right into 50k+ miles. Buy good quality replacements or as my granny would say "buy cheap, buy twice". (y)
