    I have an issue of half the LED brow on one side not lighting up.

    Called Toyota and they suggest I got to an external accessories shop.
    Another Prius owner in Malaysia who visited Toyota was proposed buying a new headlamp ($900) to solve this problem.

    Anyone had same brow not lighting up problem and figured out how to solve it?
    Appreciate help.

    Thanks 451443555.jpeg PXL_20201105_014131711.jpeg PXL_20201105_014125522.jpeg

    Just buy an inexpensive used one online or at a wrecking yard!

    Or could use it as an excuse to upgrade to an aftermarket headlight design.

    You could also try to repair it?

    The problem is that this is the highest end LED headlights and there will not be any 'inexpensive' option, new or used.

    The car would look nicer if you used a spray can of plasti-dip peel-able paint in white or black over the brow. Then just unplug that part of the headlight and you'll have a nicer looking car and will have spent less than an hour and less than $20 to solve the problem.

    Thanks so much for your input.
    Love your idea of solving problems by covering them. :)

    You have more important things to spend your money on, right?

    Yep, like fixing problems instead of hiding them.

    Anyways, again thanks for your input.
