    That's actually a new mandated warning system the DOT required Toyota to do to all their models, if the lights reflect bright high beam blue the throttle is stuck, they will look as you explained if the car is functioning properly. This was done to prevent other motorists from getting in the way of a runaway Prius or other model.
