Driver and/or passenger headlight will unexpectedly turn off while driving. Headlights will be operating normally and without reason, one of the headlights will go out. This presents a danger to me in my vehicle as well as other vehicles on the road. If I turn off the headlights and turn them on again, the lights will go back on but you don't know for how long before they go out again. Mine is a 2007 toyota solara with approximately 85,000 miles. This has occurred twice in the past couple of weeks while driving the vehicle. I've seen multiple complaints for this same issue from other solara and prius owners.

What owners say
Hid headlights turn off while driving. Problem is sporadic. May include one or both lights turning off. It is not a bulb issue. Similar to toyota prius hid light issues.
I was notified my right front headlight was out early in july, 2011. I took it to be repaired and was informed that a "module" needed to be replaced because these were 'high intensity" lights. On july 12,2011 the module was ordered by my mechanic and installed on july 13, 2012. In feb, 2012 my left front headlight went out. My mechanic ordered a new module on feb 15, 2012 and was installed on march 1, 2012. In june, 2012 I was stopped by police for having only one headlight. At that time my left headlight was out again (only 3 months later). Within the next few days I noticed that intermittently my headlights would turn off while driving, sometimes the right, sometimes the left, and sometime both at the same time. If I switched from auto to on, both headlights would turn back on for about 5 mins then either one or both would shut off. If I switched from on to auto, the same would happen for a couple minutes.I returned to my mechanic, but upon driving and keeping the lights on he could not get the same thing to happen.that was on july 20, 2012. Since that time, I have had to refrain from using my car after dark, because for no apparent reason, the lights will shut off. There are times I have all lights and then another driver will inform me that I have no headlights at all. I am aware that the toyota prius had an issue with this happening and am concerned that this is a problem with this car as well.these lights and modules are expensive to replace and having to replace them every 6 months or on a car that is less than 5 years old seems ridiculous while after replacing, the problem continues.the lack of headlights and not knowing when they go out is extremely dangerous and puts me and my family at risk for injury as well as others. I would like to know if this is a general problem with toyota cars with these type of lights or an isolated case.
2007 toyota solara. Consumer expresses discontent with response from dealership regarding vehicle problems *tgw the consumer stated the vehicle suddenly stalled which left him with no power and unable to control the vehicle in a rainstorm. The consumer did manage to get to the nearest exit safely.
The passenger side hid headlight turns off while driving. I can turn it off and then back on, and it might stay on for 15 seconds to 15 minutes. Now, the driver side hid headlight is starting to do it, too. I didn't realize I had no lights until I got up on the highway where there are no street lights.
