    Need some help on a 2012 Prius Plug-in, left front headlights does not work and nor does the DRL (LED) on the bottom. Thought it was the intergrated relay, replace it but still does not work, blow the fuse on top of the relay. Any ideas, or a detailed wiring diagram so I can trace the wires back to see if what is shorted.
    Thanks for the help.

    the problem is, our headlight, the bulb cannot be replaced. you have to replace the entire headlight housing.

    I ended up purchasing these and working on obtaining a bulk supply at this time. I can't believe the price of one headlight housing from the dealer... bonkers!
