Replace Headlights On A Prius! $460.00........, That's for one? You're kidding right????? Options

[rda]

I had a headlight go out on my Toyota Prius this weekend. I called the dealer to see about the replacement part and was told (after he checked my VIN) that I was one of the lucky ones. I don't have the High Density model that costs, with labor, $460.00 to replace. Mine is only $48.00 for the part, plus 2 hours of labor to install. WTF???????

There is a lot of info online about class action cases being brought against Toyota. Not sure if they will get anything out of that. I doubt it.

I think they've outsmarted themselves this time. What was wrong with the old system? You had either the round or the rectangle headlight. When one went out, you bought a new one for 24.00 at the parts store and replaced the whole unit yourself. Just crazy...........

I understand BMW owners are in a similar situation. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/angry.gif)
