Description of the problem	Just about every time i drive the vehicle at night, one or both headlights will go out. In order to get the light or lights back on, i have to turn the lights off and then back on. This presents an ongoing potential hazard, especially when they both go off at once. This model is the top of the line (limited) and has the hid lights. I have read on line that i am not the only person who has experienced this problem. I further understand that toyota may have an extended warranty for this issue. This is a serious problem that could result in an accident if both lights go out and i am not able to get them on again while i am traveling on an unlit road. This last happened yesterday as i will indicate below but it has been happening for more than a few years now.
