Description of the problem	I put on my brights while driving at night, on a dark part of the interstate. After a while they went out... Immediately and simultaneously. The left hand side stalk controls the headlights ("on" and "auto-on" positions), and brights. Notably the brights are a separate bulb. The "auto-on" (if it gets dark) was the setting for which they went out. I pulled over at an exit, tried the brights again after turning off my headlights and putting them to the "on" setting (as opposed to "auto-on"), and the brights did not work and actually turned off my regular headlights. This is dangerous. I see it is not the first time this problem has been reported. I found toyota had a quiet, unannounced service upgrade for faulty design, did not advertise it, recall it, or send a warning note or offer to fix to owners, and arbitrarily set the limitation at 5 yrs / 72,000 miles. If they acknowledged a problem, why put a limit on something that is not safe? Thank you for your time.
