Description of the problem	Problems with headlights going out intermittently, when they go out it usually its one at a time, but the other day my wife was driving at night when both lights went out and was completely dark. She got stopped and turned off the lights and back on using the switch and both lights came back on as it did when we would lose just one light. We took car to the dealer and they said the bulbs were bad and replaced them for $589. 00 after researching this problem i was told this is a known problem with a lot of others. This is a safety issue that needs to be addressed and fixed before someone gets killed. Toyota needs to fix this problem now and not look the other way.
