Consumer Description

2008 PRIUS HID HEADLIGHTS FAILING. STARTING AT AROUND 48,000 MILES. CAN'T THEY MAKE A HEADLIGHT FOR ABOUT $20 INSTEAD OF EVEN THE $150 THAT THEY WANT JUST FOR THE BULB. TOYOTA SHOULD AT LEAST OFFER FREE LABOR TO REPLACE THE BULB. CAN'T BELIEVE THEY CAN'T MAKE A CHEAPER BULB THAT SHOULD LAST ABOUT THE LIFETIME OF THE CAR. *TW
