    Right headlight on my 2012 Prius 5 only has part of the ("Chevron" or what looks like a Nike swoosh) illuminated.
    I can not find any lamp out, and do not know where it is getting its illumination.
    My headlights are LED/Xenon (2 lamps and a high beam). Left Light.jpg
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Photo's attached. Thanks! Right Light.jpg

    They are small LED parking/sidelights. They are just markers and come on with the first switch position in my UK version. Welcome to Prius Chat @Btrot , there's much to be learned about your Prius and this site is the best place to learn from. @Tideland Prius may wish to move this thread to its proper forum.

    The chevron is an LED bulb (or I guess two since only one side blew out). I don't think any of the LED bulbs are listed in the manual. You may have to take it in to the dealer (unless you're handy and are able to take apart the headlight to see for yourself).
