Description of the problem	The high beam on the left side wen out - when switch is turned off then on again it comes back on - then both lights went off at same time and it was completely dark. This initially happened to me approx. 3 months ago & continues daily. I thought it was the bulb until i had it checked & it turned out not to be the problem. Research indicates replacement cost between $2200 & $3000 in addition to the fact that it's a manufacturer's issue and toyota must devise a plan to rectify before someone loses their life.
