Description of the problem	I purchased my 2008 avalon new in december 2008 which included an extended warranty for 84 months or 100,000 miles. In november, 2013, i started to notice that my headlights were low. I turned them off and back on which seemed to resolved the issue. (i typically drive with the drl) however, the same issue returned off and on over the new few months. My car was taken in for service on march 22, 2014 and they were advised. I was then informed that the entire assembly for my lights/daytime running/high beams needed to be replaced. I was told there was an enhancement for 5 years or 72000 miles... Whichever came first. Unfortunately, my extended warranty which i purchased was not applicable, and the 5 year enhancement expired in december 2013. I was never notified by mail or during any service appointment about this extended warranty or problems with the exterior lighting. I was quoted a cost of $2,600 for the repairs. This is not fair.
