    just got my used 2013 Prius w/ 58k miles for $12,000! My wife and I love our new Prius, but we've had a couple of problems. When I try to turn on the lights the wrong lights turn on. On one light mode, one parking light is on while the other is off, but the side orange light is on. Its like the wiring is screwed up or something. I wonder if it is a blown fuse?

    Welcome...sounds like a good buy.
    The problem with the lights is unusual. Bulbs OK?

    Thanks wjtracy. I know the bulb is ok because it turns on when I put the high beams on. It's a strange problem. Maybe I just need to bite the bullet and take it to the dealer.

    Ok I figured it out. It was simply just two burnt out bulbs. One was the parking light on one side and the orange side bulb on the other. I think I was getting confused with so many bulbs in the headlight and not being familiar with which lights are supposed to be on with each mode. Anyway, its fixed now!
