IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS, WE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE RIGHT HEADLAMP WAS WORKING, SOMETIMES NOT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FOR AN ESTIMATE ON REPLACING THE BULB.  GENERALLY, MY HUSBAND PERFORMS ALL MAINTENANCE, ETC, ON OUR AUTOMOBILES. HE WAS UNABLE TO GET  THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY DISASSEMBLED, EVEN WHILE USING THE OWNER'S MANUAL AS A GUIDE.  INITIALLY, WE THOUGHT IT COULD BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, BECAUSE IF IT WORKS SOMETIMES AND NOT OTHERS, THEN MAYBE IT WAS A SHORT AND SHOULD BE REPAIRED.    THE DEALERSHIP  LOOKED AT THE HEADLIGHTS AND TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAD THE HID HEADLAMPS (INTERPRETED, THIS MEANS EXPENSIVE)  AND TO REPLACE IT WOULD MEAN REMOVING THE BUMPER, ETC, ETC.  THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER, MY CAR'S ODOMETER WAS AT 36,900.  THEY TOLD ME I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND BRING IT IN FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE BULB, AND IT WOULD COST ABOUT $150 FOR THE REPLACEMENT.    FOR THE RECORD, I PAID $1,499 FOR THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT THEY OFFERED, AND STILL THIS PROBLEM IS NOT A COVERED REPAIR.    WHEN MY HUSBAND CALLED FOR THE APPOINTMENT, THEY QUOTED HIM IN EXCESS OF $300 TO REPLACE THE BULB.  IN MY RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS TYPE OF BULB SHOULD LAST THE LIFE TIME OF THE VEHICLE, HENCE THE REASON THAT IT IS SO HARD TO GET TO THAT A REGULAR PERSON CANNOT REPLACE THE BULB.      I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT TOYOTA HAS AN OBLIGATION TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMP OR REPAIR THE \"SHORT\" IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EVEN THOUGHT IT IS SLIGHTLY PAST THE WARRANTY MILES, AND SEVEN MONTHS UNDER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY PERIOD.  THE PROBLEM BEGAN WELL BEFORE THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, AND MY ONLY FAULT WAS THAT I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM SOON ENOUGH. TOYOTA IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND IS CONTENT TO ALLOW THE DEALERS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF PRIUS OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2007","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"PRIUS","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
