Description of the problem	2008 toyota avalon. Low beam on drivers side goes out intermittently. Have to turn headlights on/off quickly. Was pulled over by chp on highway, told him just had low beams bulbs replaced. He asked me to turn them off, then on and both lights were working. This was in spring 2018 approx 80,000 miles. Took to mechanic, they worked fine. Did not have a problem for about 6 months after that, now afraid to drive at night as it happens more frequently and afraid that lights will not come back on. So many of same complaints on forums. I emailed toyota and actually got a call back but gal stated they had no record of any complaints regarding low beam problems. She gave me a case #2008070658. Asked if i had taken it to dealer but they would charge for diagnosis, i told her i would not be doing that. My mechanic has referred me to another shop with a certified a toyota master mechanic, will see what he has to say. This is a major safety problem to say the least and do not understand why toyota refuses to recognize it and step up to correct problem. This is very dangerous and obviously i am not only one who is very concerned.
