| I have a 2006 toyota prius. the headlights flicker while driving and go off and on. on two seperate occastions both headlights went off and would not come back on till i turned the power off in the car and re-started the car. my husband has installed new headlights twice but this has not corrected the problem. i took my vehicle to the toyota dealership in greenville, nc and they told me i did not have an electrical problem. i continue to only have one headlight to drive with, the left or right, i usually start out with both on and tnen one will go out. i am very scared about driving my car at night. i called the toyota 1-800 number to ask for advice but they said there was nothing they could do and to take my car to a toyotoa garage. | |||
