Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 - Headlight Assembly Replacement


Dec 22, 2010

The drivers side headlight assembly on my 2008 Prius has moisture in it. I have 52,000 miles on the car, so I do not think it is covered under warranty. What / how can you replace the headlight assembly?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: HID Headlight Assembly Replacement?

My headlights suffered from the dreaded condensation problem. I brought them to Lexus after getting the warranty enhancement paperwork and had them replaced. Shortly after the passenger side wheel cover was ripped off after getting caught on some ice during a storm. It was very shortly after that that condensation begin appearing in my passenger side headlight.

At that point I was unaware that the wheel well cover had been ripped off. I brought it back to Lexus to have it looked at since I only had the headlight replaced a few weeks before. I was told it would be at a cost of $2,500 to replace with an additional $400 for the wheel well cover. Needless to say, I did not have the work done that day. While I was waiting them for them to finish the paperwork I bought the wheel well cover for $50 online but since then I've had difficulty locating the headlight.

I brought it to my mechanic and he was unable to find the headlight as well. I have a 2009 rx350 with HID AFS headlights. I have looked on ebay, Amazon and just through the internet to see what I could find but I'm finding only halogen headlights. Most of what I'm seeing on eBay are for non-adaptive lights that are damaged.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 - Replacement Of Passenger Side Headlight Bulb?

I just replaced (or almost replaced) the bulb on the passenger side of my 2008 prius. It is a HID bulb. I got the old one out, the new one in and connected and verified it is working. Now trying to get the cover back on that provides the weather proofing and unless im wrong... the braided wire that connects to the back of the bulb is in the way. It looks like it has to go thru the opening that the cover is supposed to seal... Imagine a rope hanging over the edge of a bucket you are trying to put a cover on... Am i wrong here? did I miss something?

Prius (2010-12) :: Small Gap Between Headlight Assembly And Body Panel

A few weeks ago my 2010 Prius was involved in a minor front end collision. The car has since been repaired. Today I noticed that the passenger side headlight assembly (which was replaced) doesn't seem to fit quite right. There is a small gap between the assembly and the body panel at the most extreme point on the side of the car. Is this just a cosmetic issue, or could water seep in at the location and cause internal damage?

Prius (Gen 2) :: 2004 - HID Headlight Intermittently Fails To Start Even After Bulb Replacement

Around 100k miles, my 2004 prius started failing to light the right headlight. It only happened every now and then, perhaps 5-10% of the time. It seems to fail more often in cold weather. I can always get it to light by turning headlights off and on a 2-4 times.

That seemed to work, but I still get intermittent failures where the right HID doesn't start sometimes. The left always works reliably.

Obviously replacing the ballast should solve this, but that is expensive and I wonder if perhaps there is some connection that has developed a high resistance that could be solved by reseating.

Prius (Gen 1) :: Tail Light Assembly Replacement?

I'm a not-terribly-handy (but not totally inept!) apartment dweller with few tools, but it looks like I'm going to need to go buy a deep socket. I park on the street and came out the other day to find my driver side tail light pretty smashed up. I found one for $75 at the junk yard and believe I can swap them myself. I found a YouTube video that shows how to do it on a Gen II. On the Gen II, the nuts holding the assembly in place are 10mm. Definitely not the case on the Gen I. They're much smaller. I have a set of sockets but nothing deep enough to get me past those long bolts, but I'd rather not buy a whole set, since I'm not even sure whether I'd need metric or standard.

what size nuts hold the tail light assembly in place on a 2001 Prius?

Just bought our 2008 Prius a couple of weeks ago.

Looking for info about the headlight plastics being smoky/fuzzy, as if someone's cleaned them with some acid? Not sure if the fuzziness is on the inside or the outside. It's not condensation, but looks similar.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2006 XLT - Replacing Wheel Hub Assembly?

I've got an 06 XLT 4x4 with the 4.6L. I'm replacing the wheel Hub bearing assembly this evening and got the old one removed. Opened the new on to find no grease! I was shocked considering I just replaced the IWE and they come pre-greased. I plan on adding some grease around the hub gear but wondered if i should some how get grease in on that inner needle bearing? I have to have this put back together in a couple of hours so I can drive to work tomorrow.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2008 T6 Dies During Water Pump Replacement

I have a 2008 Prius T6 that I took in for routine oil change at Big-O tires. They called and said water pump was leaking badly.

Pump replaced 2 hours later, but they cannot "burp" car because it won't start. The hybrid battery is apparently too low (1 purple bar) and after repeated attempts it's dead (one vertical bar on display). I've never seen this happen before... I've seen the car battery die (after leaving lights on) but the hybrid battery has never gone low.

Big-O calls and says,

(1) We've replaced pump before and never seen this happen
(2) We called Toyota and there is only one high-voltage charger in the region... we don't know where
(3) Toyota said nothing is wrong with the car, it just needs a charge
(4) Toyota said we did nothing wrong
