Description of the problem	In september 2011, the driver's side front headlight failed on my toyota avalon at around 62,000 miles. The car was immediately taken to the dealer and they replaced the bulb at a cost of $217. 99. I have received a notice of the extended warranty from toyota for high beam and driving light bulbs but nothing for low beam bulbs. I have submitted this last service visit for reimbursement but do not know if it will be covered. Now, 5 months and 3,000 miles later, the headlight (probably the low beam bulb) on the front passenger side has failed. The dealer has informed me that they will replace that bulb as a courtesy for a charge of only $40 instead of the full price of $217. 99. This is the third toyota avalon i have had and the first time i have had any reliability problems with one. Clearly toyota needs to reimburse owners for the cost of these bulb replacements.
