Description of the problem	2008 toyota avalon defect - high and low beam head lamp assembly in my 2008 toyota avalon, i lost my high beams and my left low beam headlights while driving at night. Upon checking bulbs, both high beam 9011h1r1 bulbs blew out (shattered). I found the tsb notice on line (tsb-0044-10) and went to toyota seeking toyota to fix the defect. They told me the cost was $2,400 to replace both headlight assemblies. They did offer to split the cost 50/50 with me but i declined stating that it was a defect and was occurring in 2008, 2009 and 2010 toyota avalon. In other words, it was a design defect and they should fix it for free. Toyota declined stating it was not a recall but a tsb. This is a safety issue because i lost not only my high beam headlights without warning, but also my left low beam head lamp. Toyota should classify this as a 'recall' and not a tsb.
