    2010 Prius owner here. Both low beams stopped working unexpectedly last night. High beams still work, but when I switch to low beams, I just get the park lights. Any ideas?

    Generally speaking, the DIM relay and the headlight dimmer switch on the steering column would be likely suspects. Your problem would be covered under the 3 year/36K mile warranty.

    Since your car is 3G you may get a better response if you post on an appropriate forum there.

    My Car 2010 Prius same issue. But mine both bulbs were burned, and replaced with the new one, not working. Upon traced the wire, no 12V, so further test, found the fuse was showing ground and blown. Even both side of the fuse showing ground. How do I fix this issue. Any help will be greatly appreciable. Fuse marking is ECU-B3.
    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
    Thanks in advance.
