2 Headlights problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2016

The right side (passenger) headlight went out. Replacement of the light bulb (which was a whopping 190. 00) did not solve the problem. Was told that it is a special type of hid light which has a headlamp control module aka ballast aka computer that could be bad. Dealer quoted $600 to fix a headlight. My other repair shop quoted $450. Really Toyota? $450-600 to fix a headlight???? ridiculous. No one should have to pay this much to fix a headlight. Who engineered this? beyond frustrated.

I have a problem with one of my hid headlamps on a 2005 Toyota Sienna failing intermittently. It seems from my research that I'm not the only one having this problem.
