      Thing is, LED-Headlights will be hated by most used car buyers and owners simply because you have to buy an entire assembly. A LED could be changeable like a HID or even a normal halogen headlight bulb. There's no rocket science behind it, the automakers simply don't want you to change them so that at one point a garage or a owner that looks at the current price of that car says: It's not worth putting a new assembly in junk the car and buy a new one. Over here in Germany the national wide inspection is every 2 years, if you have a broken low and high beam headlight you could very easily fail the inspection, btw same goes the LED-daytime running light

      There is *HUGE* variability, when it comes to the life of the hybrid battery. Heat is the enemy of any battery. So it is HEAVILY dependent on the environment and driving conditions under which it was driven! AGE is also a HUGE factor (more so than miles).
      This car is only 5 years old. For example a 15 year old car with 200K miles might have its battery needing to be replaced, but this 5 year old car, driven under the “right” conditions (one of them being charge/discharge cycles) could have its battery go on almost “forever”.
      “Charge/discharge cycles” is possibly the most important factor, when it comes to battery life! For example if a car is mostly driven in the city, where the battery is constantly depleted (driving mostly on the electric motor), and then repeatedly recharged will have a much shorter life than a car mostly driven on the highway (as this one appears to be, since it accumulated so many miles in just 5 years!), where the battery is mostly maintained at relatively constant state of charge!

      Edit: i checked what the pump looks like. Its actually very clever design. The shaft is stationary and the motor is completely sealed off from the coolant. Fluid ingress is impossible. The propeller is plastic, but seems very sturdy. It is connected to a magnetic rotor, which is driven by rotating magnetic field from behind the wall of the housing. Does not seem the coolant is able to harm the pump unless it gets full of particles, in theory.

      Or look up your local dealership parts online for discounts on OEM headlights. I paid $1,400 for both OEM LED headlights online for a 2018 Toyota Sequoia versus going in person to the dealership and paying $1,600 dollars for each headlight for the grand total of $3,200.

    Yours has 400k unchanged, what do you advise?
