Problem with the 2004 Toyota Prius

I have a 2004 Toyota


By zlotorowicz on Feb 12, 2010
I have a 2004 Toyota Prius with 110,000 miles on it. Overall we love the car and have had no problems up to now. We just stated haveing a problem with the headlights. They are turning off by them selves while driving. It is a intermittant problem. Sometimes the left turns off or the right turns off and other times both turn off. I cycle the light switch and they turn on again. Sometimes they stay on with no further problems. But other times it happens 3-4 times a night. I do not feel that it is the HID bulbs. I have read on the internet that it might be a computer problem? What do you think? And if it is a computer problem, cn I fix it myself without going to the dealer? Thanks.

First, check all the headlight bulbs and see if one of them is burned out. If all the bulbs are ok, then you will have to replace the vehicles computer controlling the headlights. Click on the link below to view the replacement part needed. If you are mechanically inclined, you can replace it yourself. Otherwise, you have to take it to the dealer.
