Description of the problem	Toyota sent out a warranty enhancement notice about june 2012 that if you had problems with high beam headlights on my model vehicle to take the car to a dealer. Car had to be less than 5 years old a under 72,000 miles. I ask about my car and they said my mileage was to high. Within a month i found out what the problem was. The high beam bulbs would explode as mine did. I went back to toyota to ask for a waver for the repair to be done. They again said no. But would be happy to repair it for $2284. 66. The cost of new headlight assemblies. It seems that the original bulb was no longer made and there was no direct replacement for it. Solution was the $2284. 66 repair. I believe this is a safety issue and should be covered no matter the age or miles of a vehicle. There was no mention in the notice of bulbs exploding or that the entire assembly would need to be replaced. Very misleading on the part of toyota.
