Problem with 2012 Toyota Prius headlights.

I am having a problem with the headlights or perhaps the lighting system with a 2012 Toyota Prius. I am not much of a car person but will describe the problem as best as I can.

Basically, the only thing working on the front lights of the vehicle for now are my turn signals, marker lights, high beam and the small left and right lights to the side of the headlight.

So the daytime running light and headlight are not working thus when I drive at night, the only light that comes on in the front is the marker, so I have to switch to high beam to have some light.

A mechanic friend tested the fuse for the lights and none of them is blown, also the bulbs are not burnt out, the filaments are intact.

The next step is probably visit a Toyota repair shop or the dealership but I am wondering if anyone on this thread may have a suggestion etc.

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

Both cannot or should not burn out at the same time I have been told. Also, a visual check of the bulbs showed the filament is intact and not burned. Plus, I think something is funky somewhere since the low beam/high beam should be using the same source/bulb. High beam comes on but the regular low beam does not come on.

 

Will look into the switch but that may possibly mean two switches going bad at the same time? For the relay, there was a spare plus that of the wiper blades which is same as the one controlling lights so we swapped them out, but it didn't work

 

Yes, that is what he did

Thanks for the link.

 

It's possible, I am bad with this car thing, I am referring to spare fuses and something that looked like a 3pin connector. One of them even controls the wiper. We did a visual check when he pulled them out. Will ask him to test the bulb as suggested.

 

Yes both.

 

Thanks!
