Description of the problem	No high beam headlights just low beam. Hard to see. We got this used car 1 1/2 yrs ago without highbeams. Toyota wants to chg me 500$ to fix the problem and i have the extended warranty for and extra 2000$. I found a letter to the previous owner that these headlamps may have a short life and they will be replaced with new assembly and new bulb. I called toyota customer service and got only aggravation. No satisfaction on helping me to replace this expensive bulb problem which occurred. I think toyota should have rectified this before selling it to us. It is their problem to replace this assembly and new bulbs not mine. They sold us a malfunctioning headlamp unit.
