Description of the problem	Front headlights suddenly cut off. I quickly switched interior light control and they immediately came back on. With no further obvious problems i dismissed issue as incidental. However, approximately 6 weeks later i was told my passenger side headlight was out. However, when i checked it was working. On 7/7/14 i was stopped by fhp and given warning for passenger side headlight out. On 7/12/14 gatorland toyota replaced passenger side headlight bulb ($214. 15) and said everything ok. On 7/15/14 i was advised that driver side headlight out. On 7/18/14 gatorland toyota advised both front headlight assemblies required replacement at $2,219. 95 plus tax (free labor) to install. Since out or warranty costs all mine. This is in spite of the fact that i have followed service manual to the letter and all work since purchase date performed at gatorland (approximately 20 service calls). On 7/29/14 the toyota representative indicated they could do nothing as care out of warranty. *js
