Description of the problem	I have been pulled over numerous times due to having a headlight out. However it's never blown. Once i show the officer by turning the lights off for a few seconds then back on the light is on. From reading many toyota forums and going to a toyota dealer, it is a faulty wiring system and to repair it will cost at least $1300. 00 or more. It is a hastle as well as a safety hazard. The light doesnt stay on once turning the lights off then on. Within a few miles it goes off again and it is constantly blowing the light bulbs. In the 3 years i have had my car i have replaced the lights at least 7 times. The light will always be off when i start my car with the remote starter and when i start it with the ignition if it's on, within a few miles of driving it goes off again.
