Description of the problem	I started having problems with both front low beam light bulbs. The passenger and driver side would work only intermittently keeping me at bay as i could not drive @ night. Both driver and passenger went out at the same time i took it to the dealer and the passenger side along with the drivers side were replaced on two appointments at $192. 50 per bulb along with labor.. The total came to $310. 20 x 2= $620. 40 that's a huge amount of money for defective parts. I was informed that i was using the lights too much and that was the reason for the lights going out!! My car has low miles and it told him that was a defect from the factory. I am very discouraged with the outcome of having to fork out so much money for a factory defect, shame on toyota!
