2006 Toyota Prius Exterior Lighting

THE HEADLIGHTS WORK INTERMITTENTLY WITH NO INDICATION FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT ONE IS NOT WORKING. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED THREE TIMES, AND THE ONLY THING THAT WAS FIXED WAS A REAR TAILLIGHT BULB. THE NON-WORKING HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN POINTED OUT TO ME BY SECURITY GUARDS IN THE PARKING GARAGE, AND LAST WEEK I WAS PULLED-OVER BY A NEW JERSEY STATE PATROL OFFICER BECAUSE ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WAS OUT. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM ON AGAIN IS TO TURN THE CAR OFF, AND THEN RESTART IT. IT HAS NOW BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MYSELF, PASSENGERS, AND OTHER DRIVERS. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN THAT IF I NOTICE THEM NOT WORKING, BRING THE CAR IN WITH THE LIGHTS STILL OUT, AND THEN THEY CAN TRY TO TRACK DOWN THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATELY 5 TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD ABOUT, OR NOTICED THE OUTAGES HAVE BEEN AS I DROVE INTO MY OFFICE OR LATER AT NIGHT WHEN THE DEALER IS CLOSED, OR OUT OF TOWN ON THE TURNPIKE. THIS SOLUTION IS MERELY AN AVOIDANCE BY THE DEALER TO REPLACE A KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHTS FOR WHICH I HAVE BEEN TICKETED. THE DEALERSHIP AGREES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS IN MY 2006 PRIUS AND AGREES TO PAY FOR THE PARTS (2 HEADLIGHT BULBS @~$370 EACH) BUT NOT FOR THE LABOR WHICH IS OVER $300 PLUS DIAGNOSTIC FEES. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE HEADLIGHT WHICH CAME ON MY PRIUS WAS FOUND TO HAVE A PROBLEM AND BECAUSE OF THIS, IS NO LONGER BEING USED. BUT, FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET, I AM NOT THE ONLY 2006 PRIUS OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM AND MANY HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX THIS ISSUE WITHOUT SUCCESS. WHY MUST I PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED WHEN THE DEALERSHIP HAS AGREED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SPECIFIC TYPE OF HEADLAMP. I EVEN HAVE BEEN TICKETED FOR THIS PROBLEM...JUST ICING ON THE CAKE!!!! *TR

THE DRIVERS SIDE (LEFT) HEADLIGHT WILL EXTINGUISH ITSELF AFTER BEING TURNED ON AND RUNNING FOR A VARYING AMOUNT OF TIME. IF, WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I TURN OFF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH AND IMMEDIATELY TURN IT BACK ON THE LIGHT COMES ON AS NORMAL. THE AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN THESE FAILURES VARIES AND DOES NOT SEEM TO CONFORM TO A REGULAR PATTERN HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST MONTH OR SO. *TR

PERIODICALLY THE RIGHT FRONT XENON HEADLIGHT GOES OUT ON MY 2006 PRIUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS. HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT COULD NOT ISOLATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY VEHICLE, 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS, THE HID LIGHTS HAVE BEEN SHUTTING OFF INTERMITTENTLY. IT STARTS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT FIRST, THEN AFTER A FEW MILES OR MINUTES THE PASSENGER LIGHT SHUTS OFF ALSO. ONCE I TURN THE LIGHT SWITCH ON AND OFF, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER LIGHT RESUMES TO NORMAL. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER FOR THE FIRST TIME (9/24/07), THE DEALER TRIED TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR AGAIN BACK TO THE DEALER (2/25/08) SINCE THE HID HEADLIGHTS TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING IS NOW BECOMING UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT BOTH BULBS ARE NEEDED TO BE CHANGED BUT I HAVE READ ENOUGH OF THESE CASES ONLINE THAT REPLACING THE BULBS DOES NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, (HTTP://PRIUSCHAT.COM/FORUMS/CARE-MAINTENANCE-TROUBLESHOOTING/34584-HEADLIGHT-PROBLEM.HTML). I HAVE ALSO SEEN OTHER PRIUS ON THE ROAD THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE OURS, IN FACT, MY WIFE'S SISTER BOUGHT AN 07 PRIUS AND IT ALSO SHOWED THE SAME PROBLEM. PICTURES OF THE HID LIGHTS WHEN INTERMITTENTLY OFF IS AVAILABLE IF NEEDED. *TR

BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2006 PRIUS INTERMITTENTLY FAILED, SOMETIMES AT THE SAME TIME. DEALER REPLACED BOTH. NOW, LESS THAN ONE YEAR AFTER REPLACEMENT, THE LEFT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS DOING THE SAME THING. INCIDENT DATE REFERS TO THE LATEST FAILURE. *TR

HID HEADLIGHTS WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TO TURN THEM OFF AND BACK ON TO GET THEM TO WORK. REPAIR PERFORMED 02/23/2008 WAS TO REPLACE BOTH HEADLIGHT ECU ASSEMBLY. *TR

INTERMITTENT HID HEADLIGHTS. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH HI-INTENSITY HEADLAMPS. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE PASSENGER-SIDE LAMP HAS GONE OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION (ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT). I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALER, WHERE THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE BULB AT A COST OF $424.24! I HAVE SINCE DONE SOME WEB SEARCHING AND I HAVE FOUND A 'PATTERN' OF MANY 06 PRIUS OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, OR MORE SEVERE, WITH BOTH LIGHTS GOING OUT! FROM THE DIALOG THAT I READ ON SITES SUCH AS PRIUSCHAT.COM, IT HAS BEEN TRACED TO SEVERAL COMPONENTS OF THE PRIUS HID LIGHT SYSTEM. THERE ALSO IS EVIDENCE OF TECHNICAL BULLETINS BEING GENERATED THROUGH TOYOTA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY AN EMERGING AND DANGEROUS SITUATION OF RECALL PROPORTIONS. I URGE YOU TO INVESTIGATE AND ACT ON THIS SITUATION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AT NIGHT, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE EXTERIOR LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT THAT TIME. A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE EXTERIOR LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE LIGHT BEGAN WORKING AGAIN ONCE IT WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN. THE FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. UPDATED 12/16/08 *CN UPDATED 12/18/08. *JB

TOYOTA PRIUS 2006 HEADLIGHT MALFUNCTION THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY PRIUS WILL GO OUT RANDOMLY EVERY 5 TO 10 MINUTES. USUALLY IT IS JUST ONE OR THE OTHER BUT OCCASIONALLY IT WILL BE BOTH HEADLIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. TO RESOLVE THIS YOU HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN. TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THIS RAMPANT PROBLEM. THE SOLUTION FROM TOYOTA WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AT $1216. THIS PROBLEM SHOWED ITSELF SOON AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO PAY THAT KIND OF MONEY TO REPAIR THIS DESIGN FLAW. THIS IS NOT JUST A BURNED OUT BULB. INSTEAD PEOPLE WILL CONTINUE TO ALLOW THESE LIGHTS TO CYCLE OFF AND WILL APPLY THE MANUAL OFF/ON. THIS CREATES AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION - ESPECIALLY WHEN BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT THE SAME TIME AT NIGHT. TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL AND REPAIR THIS DESIGN FLAW. *TR

ONE OR SOMETIMES BOTH HID HEADLAMPS GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING, AND CAN BE RE-LIT BY TURNING OFF AND TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH. THIS AFFECTS BOTH LOW AND HIGH BEAMS. I'VE NEARLY RUN OFF THE ROAD WHEN THE LIGHTS WENT OUT ABRUPTLY ON A NARROW MOUNTAIN ROAD. I HAVE HAD TO TURN ON MY FOG/DRIVING LIGHTS ROUTINELY AS A BACKUP. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT ON OUR 2006 PRIUS HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY WORKING SINCE JUNE 2007. TAKING IT IN TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP IN VA WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR, WE WERE TOLD THAT SINCE IT HAPPENED TO BE WORKING AT THAT TIME, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. SINCE MOVING TO NORTH CAROLINA IN JULY 2007, THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE. A DEALERSHIP HERE, TOLD MY HUSBAND AND I THE SAME THING - THAT THE HEADLIGHT WAS ON WHEN WE BROUGHT IT IN SO THEY ASSUMED IT WAS FINE. AFTER BEING PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE IN EARLY MAY 2008 BECAUSE OUR HEADLIGHT WAS OUT, WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD BY THE POLICE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND WE NEEDED TO GET IT REPAIRED IMMEDIATELY. THIS TIME, AFTER PAYING NEARLY $100.00 FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE DIAGNOSED AT THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP, WE SPENT ALMOST $500.00 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE COMPUTER (ECU)AND WERE TOLD THE HEADLIGHT WOULD NOW WORK. THE NEXT DAY THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN. WE BROUGHT IT BACK IN AND WERE TOLD THAT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING HAVING TO DO WITH THE HEAT CAUSED BY THE ECU THAT HAD BEEN REPLACED, OUR HEADLIGHT HAD NOW FULLY BLOWN OUT AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $400.00 FOR A NEW HID LIGHT. WE PAID, GOT A NEW DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT, AND WENT HOME. THE VERY NEXT MORNING (5/30/08), THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING VERY WRONG WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE PAGES AND PAGES ONLINE OF DISCUSSIONS OF 2006 PRIUS OWNERS WHO HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, AND IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE WITH HEADLIGHTS OUT! I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY TOYOTA IS NOT STANDING BEHIND IT'S VEHICLES AND KEEPING IT'S CUSTOMERS SAFE. THERE IS SURELY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN. THESE LIGHTS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST UP TO EIGHT YEARS... BUT OURS HAVE NOT MADE IT EVEN THREE YEARS. WE ARE BECOMING VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE SERVICE WE HAVE RECEIVED AND WITH THE LACK OF SUPPORT BY TOYOTA IN HELPING US WITH THIS. *TR

MY PASSENGER SIDE HID HEADLIGHT BEGAN TO GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY. FLICKING THE LIGHT OFF AND ON RESTARTED IT. ON ONE OCCASION BOTH WENT OUT AT ONCE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY IN THE RAIN---VERY SCARY. THE DEALER JUST CHANGED THE BULBS YESTERDAY. THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT OUT WITH IN 10 MINUTES. WHEN I FLICKED THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF, IT ONLY STAYED ON FOR A FEW SECONDS. THEN TODAY, IT WAS DUSK DRIVING HOME, AND THE DIVERS SIDE WENT OUT. I NOW HAVE NO LIGHT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY GO OUT SO FAST, ARE HARD TO REPLACE AND NOT READILY AVAILABLE. I SEE FROM POSTS ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY 2006 PRIUS WITH HID LIGHTS ARE HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS. MY DEALER IS CLUELESS ON THE CAUSE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, LOCALLY OR LONG DISTANCE, ONE OR THE OTHER OF THE HEADLIGHTS WILL JUST GO OUT. TURNING THE LIGHTS OFF AND ON GETS IT TO WORK AGAIN BUT THIS IS DANGEROUS AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING OVER A MOUNTAIN PASS WHILE VISIBILITY IS LOW DUE TO PRECIPITATION SUCH AS RAIN OR SNOW AND IT CONFUSES OTHER DRIVERS. *CN

WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE FIRST TURNED ON, THERE IS A FEW SECONDS OF FULL BRIGHTNESS, THEN DIMMING IN THE RIGHT LIGHT, AND THEN AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO, IT GOES OUT. IT COMES BACK ON IF YOU TURN OFF THE LIGHTS AND THEN BACK ON. I FIRST NOTICED THIS AROUND 40,000 MILES. MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS HERE: HTTP://PRIUSCHAT.COM/FORUMS/CARE-MAINTENANCE-TROUBLESHOOTING/34584-HEADLIGHT-PROBLEM.HTML *TR

HID HEADLAMP BULBS FAILED WITHIN WEEKS OF EACH OTHER AND WITH LESS THAN ONE YEAR OF SERVICE ON THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK ALMOST THREE WEEKS TO GET A REPLACEMENT BULB AFTER THE FIRST FAILURE. DURING THAT TIME THE SECOND BULB FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT. AFTER THE BULBS WERE REPLACED I REALIZED THAT THE HID HEADLIGHT "SHUTTERS" IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY SYSTEM INTERMITTENTLY FAILED TO PROPERLY SHIFT BACK TO LOW BEAM FROM HIGH BEAM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CAN RESULT IN BLINDING ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND TO AVOID THE PROBLEM I CAN ONLY DRIVE WITH LOW BEAMS. TOYOTA ADVISED THAT BOTH HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES ARE DEFECTIVE AND MUST BE REPLACED. TOYOTA HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THAT OTHER 2006 PRIUS OWNERS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR HEADLIGHTS ALTHOUGH MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE POSTED SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET. *TR

HID HEADLIGHTS ON 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS GO OFF WHENEVER. TURN LIGHT SWITCH OFF THEN BACK ON, LAMP LIGHTS BACK UP. VERY RANDOM ANYTIME ANYPLACE ANY SPEED. LEFT SIDE LIGHT GOES OFF THE MOST BUT THE RIGHT ONE GOES OFF SOMETIME. *TR

SINCE AROUND 40,000 MILES I HAVE BEEN HAVING INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT FAILURES IN MY TOYOTA PRIUS. THE HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO FLICKER OUT, BEFORE IT ONLY HAPPENED ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT OR MY PASSENGER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT, BUT NOW IT IS BOTH TIMES. THIS HAPPENED RANDOMLY AND THERE WERE NO CRASHES OR DAMAGES TO THE CAR INVOLVED. I HAVE THE HID HEADLIGHT OPTION INSTALLED. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. THEY SAID THAT THE PROBLEM COULDN'T BE RECREATED AND ONLY OFFERED TO REPLACE THE PARTS BUT NOT UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE HEADLIGHTS CONTINUE TO FLICKER OUT. *TR

BOTH HEADLAMPS WOULD GO OUT INTERMITTENTLY, TURNING THEM OFF AND BACK ON WOULD WORK FOR A WHILE, BUT EVENTUALLY OVER A 2 WEEK PERIOD WOULD NOT COME BACK ON. TOYOTA FIRST DENIED THE PROBLEM TELLING ME IT WOULD COST 750 EACH BULB PLUS LABOR TO FIX. I FOUND ON A TOYOTA WEB SITE THE PROBLEM WITH 2006 PRIUS HEADLAMPS SHOWED THE DEALER AND CALLED AN 800 #. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE # AND IN A SHORT TIME MY DEALER CALLED AND SAID THEY COULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR LABOR COST ONLY ABOUT $198. IF THIS PROBLEM GOES TO A RECALL STATUS THEY WILL REIMBURSE MY LABOR COST. I NOW SEE 16 COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME HEADLAMP PROBLEM ON 2006 PRIUS ON THIS SITE. *TR

I OWN A 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLIGHTS. AFTER LESS THE A YEAR AND A HALF OF OWNERSHIP BOTH HEADLIGHTS GO DIM AND THEN GO OUT WHILE DRIVING INDEPENDENT OF EACH OTHER. MANY TIMES BOTH WILL GO OUT ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER. THEY DO THIS OFTEN, BUT ON A RANDOM BASIS. WHEN THE SWITCH IS TURNED OFF THEN ON THE COME BACK ON FOR A SHORT PERIOD. THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO SAY THEY THINK IT IS THE BULBS, HOWEVER THEY CAN NOT GUARANTY IT. THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT TOYOTA HAS A LONG BACK ORDER ON THE BULBS. IN READING A FEW HYBRID WEB SITES AND BLOGS, I HAVE READ NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING DOWN A DARK HIGHWAY IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY TO ALL OF A SUDDEN HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THEN TWO YEARS OLD. AND THEN TO BE TOLD THAT IT WILL BE OVER $750 TO "MAYBE" FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 TOYOTA PRIUS THAT HAS AN INTERMITTENT FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT. IT GOES ON WHEN I FIRST START IT AND THEN IT GOES OFF A FEW MINUTES LATER. IF YOU REDO THE HEADLIGHT IT GOES ON THEN SHUTS OFF AGAIN. IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND THE DEALER IS SAYING IT WILL COST OVER $200 TO FIX. *TR

BEFORE MY 2006 PRIUS WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I NOTICED INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS, THE DEALER NEVER COULD FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. ONCE OUT OF WARRANTY I AGAIN MENTIONED THE PROBLEM TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE HEADLIGHT BULB WAS BAD AND IT WOULD BE OVER $400 TO REPLACE. I SAID THIS WAS A PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY BUT WAS NEVER FIXED, THEY REPLACED FOR FREE. I LATER SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON THE TOYOTA PRIUS. A HEADLIGHT SHOULD NOT BE OVER $400 TO REPLACE AND IF IT IS GOING TO COST THAT MUCH, IT SHOULDN'T BE GOING OUT AFTER SUCH A SHORT TIME. *TR

ACCIDENT REPAIR FRONT RIGHT. APPROX 2 WKS AFTER REPAIR I NOTICED THAT THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT WASN'T WORKING. HI BEAM WORKS. FOUND OTHER DISGRUNTLED OWNERS ON PRIUSCHAT.COM. REPLACEMENT OF LIGHT IS $350.00 AND IS UNDER WARRANTY FOR 33,000 MILES - I HAD ABOUT 38,000 AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER THE LIGHT IS OK AND A CONNECTION IS BAD OR WHETHER THE ACCIDENT HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FAILURE OF THE LIGHT. I THINK THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT AND THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON OUR TOYOTA PRIUS BEGAN MALFUNCTIONING AT 55000. THEY WOULD FLICKER, FADE AND THEN FAIL. I HAD TO FLICK THE SWITCH OFF THEN ON AND THEY WOULD STAY ON A FEW MINUTES BEFORE FADING AWAY. I NOTICED THERE ARE QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ON SOME PRIUS DISCUSSION BOARDS. THE COST TO FIX THIS IS MORE THAN $400/LIGHT AS THE WHOLE ASSEMBLY HAS TO BE REPLACED. *TR
