Prius (2010-12) :: No Icon For Headlights Up To 2 Clicks?
Jul 17, 2012
I just got my new 2012 Prius (package 3). When I turn on the headlights (2 clicks), no icon shows up on the dash (unlike my 2006 Prius). I thought this was weird but ok. When I switched to the brights for the first time, the headlights icon came on with the brights icon! I was wondering if this is still normal (no icon for headlights up to 2 clicks, 3rd click for brights turns on headlights and brights icons), or if I need to make a trip in to get that looked at?

Until about a week ago, when I turned my headlights on, the icon (light bulb) appeared on the dash. Out of the blue, it doesn't. Any clue why? (High beam icon still appears).

I sat in the car while waiting for the wife to pick up a some things at the store and after a couple of minutes, there was two or three click sounds. It sounded like it came from the left side of the car, like relays resetting. Then in a couple more minuted I heard another series of clicks that sounded like they came from under the hood.

I just got my dream car, love it, but have two questions:
1. My battery icon is never totally full. Does that last bar ever show up? I doubt it's an issue, but figure if the charge is low now....
2. I've filled four times, and each time the computer shows mileage about 5% better than the actual purchase of gas calculates out. So I'm wondering if the calculation is a little high, of if my gas station is "a little off." I plan to use a few gas stations and compare the results.

What does this icon mean? Maybe something about the gas tank cap or the gas cap door being open but that doesn't appear to be the case. The gas tank cap is tightly closed and the gas cap door is closed.

We are having extremely cold weather. Yesterday my low air pressure icon came on. When I went to check the air pressure, I could not remove any of the caps.

About 3 weeks ago I bought 2014 Prius Two. Was purchased as A Certified Pre Owned. At first I thought I just got a bad pump at the gas station. It's now been 5 fill ups at three different stations and same problem every time.
The fuel pump clicks almost instantly when trying to fill. I've tried different angles and manage to get a few gallons in before it prematurely clicks. I've resorted to holding the pump at the minimum flow to to get a consistent flow until fill up.
Car is under warranty so will probably just take it to the dealer. If it something quick and easy fix I'd rather just do it myself over the weekend.. I've ran the gas low most fill ups and topped off.

Having issues with headlights burning out in their 2010 Prius??? I had my bulbs replaced at 49,000 miles and they burned out again before 55,000 miles. They both burned out within two/three days of each other. I took it into the dealership and they weren't useful at all....

We are newer to hybrids. We purchased a used 2012 prius approximately 1 year ago. Within the past year, we have replaced the headlights approximately 6 times. Last month we replaced both front lights and tonight, out of nowhere 3 lights burnt out (both headlights and 1 bright light). It was dark outside and we live in a rural area so we had to drive 90 miles with 1 bright and the 2 day time lamps.
We maybe have changed bulbs in other vehicles once every couple of years and this is a monthly thing with our Prius. They aren't cheap so it's frustrating. My husband has been changing the bulbs and he does not touch the glass.

I have a 2012 Prius and I like the DRL to stay on even when the Headlight are on or off. Currently if Headlights are turned on the DRL turns off and I would like the control to turn DRL on or off.

2 months ago while driving both headlights (low) went out. Had to drive with my high beams on to get back to the house. Next day they worked again. 2 days ago both low lights went out again. My son checked and the bulbs are fine, the fuses are fine but the voltage meter says very low voltage with high resistance. What does that mean? I know there was a class action suit for the same reason for up to the 2009 model.

I bought this car new in 2010 and it's a level IV not Four as it is a 2010. I am about to replace my headlights for the 5th time after only having had these for about 3-4 months. The dealership says that things happen but I've never owned a vehicle where the headlights are constantly going out. The first 3 times that the headlights went out, the dealership replaced them. I replaced them this last time .
I don't believe it's the headlights as much as I feel that it has something to do with the car. They went out last night as I got into the car at night and when I switched on the lights, they flashed and went out. The high beams still work but the lows do not.

I noticed tonight that my low beams are both out, and they were both working yesterday. Fuse #19, a 40A in a cluster of two 30A fuses appears fine when I look at it AND my horn and backup lights work just fine too. In the owner's manual it say that fuse position #19 controls the low beams and the horn (which is working) and the backup lights. SO, that says to me the fuse is ok because the other items are working.
FWIW, I can use the high beams, but recognize they're on a different fuse anyway. Also, I replaced BOTH headlamps with new Sylvania bulbs about 6 months ago when one of them went out. Could both low beam headlamps have burned out at the same time???? Is there some other fuse that controls them both other than the #19 fuse inside the engine compartment? Could this also be a problem in the control stalk switch on the steering console?

I have a 2011 Prius Three and one thing I have noticed is that the headlights don't last nearly as long as other vehicles I've owned. I drive 104 miles per day round trip, and I do leave my headlights on all the time but that has always been my driving habits. Thus far, I have been through 3 sets of headlamps, mostly low beam. Also low beam seems very weak, always better with the high beams on. Is it normal or might I have an electrical issue.

I have a 2012 Prius 4. All of a sudden, the head lights went very dim. We have replaced the bulbs and that did not work. I can only drive at night with brights on (not very popular). Any quick fixes, before i take it to the dealership?

Headlights on 2013 Prius too dim. Any good aftermarket headlight assembly for 2013 Prius with stronger bulbs. Have tried HID bulbs, not much improvement. Have seen this issue mentioned elsewhere.

I had read that the auto leveling only works when you first turn on the lights. But, I have caught mine doing it in traffic. When I come to a stop behind a car, a second after the front end bounces back, I notice the beams dip down half of an inch, on the car in front of me. I have seen this a few times. Seems the auto level feature is always at work. Is this new for 2012?

I just got my 2010 prius with OEM fog lights. I was wondering if there's a mod that I can just turn on my fogs without having to also turn on the headlights.

I want to make a few changes to my Prius. I would like to change out the stock headlights for the OEM LED headlights and add the OEM foglights.
I have some part numbers for the foglights and would get them through the dealer. What about the LED headlights? Is there an improvement over the standard headlights? I have read about the "auto leveling" sensor that is mounted on the back bumper, is that something that can be done?

I purchased a 2010 about a year ago and have replaced the low beams twice. Any issues with them or any other possible cause?

On my 2011 Three with standard halogen headlights, I have been experiencing headlamp burnouts at least once a year. Other than the usual precautions while swapping them (i.e., wear clean gloves and never touch the bulb with bare hands), I don't think I'm doing anything unusual.
