Description of the problem | The daytime driving light/highbeams blew out on one side. I had the light replaced in florida on a trip. Later in the same year the same light blew out and i took it to a dealer in waldorf, md this dealer, with much reservation, replaced the light. A week later both daytime/high beam lights blew out. I took it back to the dealer and they replaced the headlight assemblies of both light. Now a year and a half to 2 tears later both lights have exploded again. At this point the car has 71009 miles on it. Toyota says they will fix it. However, if they fix it the same way again i'm sure the same problem will return in due time. Lighting at night is a very serious safety issue as i found out this weekend and this safety problem needs to be fixed properly. |
