Description of the problem	This car has had all 4 headlights burn out at one time or another. Now for the second time, the left hid low beam has gone out. I'm sure you are aware these are expensive to replace. About 2 years ago toyota offered to reimburse owners for replacement of high beam halogen bulbs as long as the vehicle had less than 35,000 miles at the time of the malfunction. Recently though, since this was a problem with a larger number of cars, toyota expanded this to a service bulletin. In this bulletin they will replace both complete headlight assemblies so long as the vehicle is less than 5 years old and has less than 75,000 miles on the odometer. My mother-in-law just had this done on her avalon, which failed an inspection because both halogen high beam bulbs were shattered, which was purchased at the same time my wife's was. My wife uses her avalon to commute 90 miles round trip to work. The car currently has 105,000 miles on the odometer since it was purchased new december 8, 2007. Due to the mileage toyota is not interested in replacing the headlight assemblies on her car. This is a safety defect that could cause a crash. I believe there should be a recall campaign to rectify the problem.
