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)

That's just the bulb, a halogen that you can't touch without secret double insulated secret agent gloves, made to order. You also have to take the fuse box out, loosen the front bumper, etc. to get to it. There is a video online about how to do it yourself but I"m not taking a chance on it.
