    Just replaced my driver side headlight bulb on my 2007 Prius. Before I put the rubber cover back on I put the plug on the bulb to test the bulb. High and low beams worked. Great. I then unplugged and put the rubber cover back on....not as easy as it looks.....and now the lows do not work but the highs do. This is the reason I changed the bulb in the first place.

    Any help here?

    Thanks

    My plugs were burned up. I found a replacement plugs at autostorr
    Later found out there avail at dealer.
    Hope your using the factory bulb.
    Aftermarkets are brighter but don't last long and u will be back in there in less than a year. And as u now know its a hassle.
    Good idea to rebulb the whole car including the turn signals in the front. Buy OEMS online. They last much longer.
