Description of the problem	2008 toyota avalon touring had both high beams go out at the same time and when taken to the dealership they were replaced at my expense. The service writer commented the bulbs appeared to have exploded within the unit per the service technician, however, no explanation. Now the low beam driver side headlight intermittently goes out and then comes back on. I am concerned that both low beams will go out at the same time, but will still come back on later. I have not taken the car back in for service due to the fact that this is only an intermittent problem, but seems to be a defect in the car and toyota needs to research and replace at their costs due to safety concerns with losing headlights without warning during night driving. I have been able to clear the problem by re-setting the switch on steering column, but seems to be happening more frequent now. This seems to be a short time frame for having lighting issues of this type on a 2008 vehicle.
