| Description of the problem | The passenger side headlight of my 2008 toyota avalon limited dimmed for 3 days and then went out. The vehicle was still under warranty and the dealer replaced at no charge. 4,000 miles later (out of warranty) the driver side headlight dimmed for 2 days and now it is out. During each instance, i was able to turn the headlights off and on and each time the headlight would work properly but after a few minutes, the headlight would dim and then go out completely. |
