Description of the problem	While driving with the low beam headlights on either the right or the left light went out. Replaced both hid lights but issue keeps coming back. When i turn the light off and then on the lights come back on. However after a couple of minutes one of the lights go off again. It seems to be random, but some times both go out this is an obvious safety issue. Called toyota to file a complaint as the dealer did not want to take care of this. Toyota frankly told us that this is not their issue. Looking at many other owners having the same issue this is a safety defect. We live in the mountains and without lights you have very dangerous situations especially in the winter. P. S. This is not the high beam issue but rather the normal head light.
