    My 2009 Prius headlights are turning off automatically while I'm driving. At first only one of them turned off, but sometimes both turn off.the fog lights remain on.when one goes off, its like it only goes half off. Then sometimes while the headlights are on and I used the right light the lights go completely dark. Any idea why this might be happening?

    if you turn the lights completely off and then on again, do they both come back on?
    My 2007 Prius, the left light would do that - all I did was replace the bulbs
    I believe this was another one of the Toyota Prius light bulb issue.
    They did replace some bulbs, but my was out of the warranty period (I think it was 50l/5 year).

    Any thoughts on preferred replacement brand or anything?
