While driving my headlights turn off (one, main two, or sometimes ALL -including fog lights-). Switching them on and off a few times generally gets them to turn back on.

The Prius in the mid 2000s had a problem with headlights. There is a Toyota TSB on the fix. [This may help a bit,](https://www.cartalk.com/blogs/car-talk-car-complaints/used-toyota-prius-%E2%80%93-buy-year-not-one) but if you ask the Prius Forums you may get more details.

Could you link the TSB please?  
I searched and couldn’t find it. Thank you!

Try [this link.](https://www.carcomplaints.com/Toyota/Prius/2005/tsbs/) If it fails, go to [CarComplaints.com](http://CarComplaints.com) to search. There are more Prius light TSBs in 2006.
