Description of the problem	I purchased my 2008 avalon touring in february 2008 within two years of owning, i noticed that my high-beam no longer were working. I took into the dealership to have checked, they indicated the high-beam bulbs had burned out. When inquiring why they would both burn-out in such a short period of owning the vehicle the service technician indicated the high beam bulb also works as your day running lights, they quoted a figure of over $160 for the bulbs and another $180 to complete the work. I purchased the bulbs and put them in myself. Upon inspecting the bulbs on removal, both had completed exploded when the went bad. Keeping fingers crossed that this will be the last to time to replace. Over the past couple weeks i noticed that the low-beam light on the passenger side seemed to be shutting down periodically. After researching on the internet, i found that it appears to be an ongoing issue with others. All indications were the only way to correct is replacing the bulb. Once again out of pocket for over a $150. Was able to replace myself. Read a forums where people indicated they had to pull their entire bumper off to replace. Not the case. There is a safety clip that holds the bulb in place, and it takes alittle work to get it off the first time, but not that difficult once you've done. Schedule to take my car in for an oil change this week, and i plan to inquire at the dealership as to the number of complaints that i've noticed on the web with their headlights associated with the 2008 avalon.
