Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	This 2008 toyota camry solara, ~37k miles, uses the same headlight bulb types as the 2008 toyota avalon, 9011 for high beams and i had both high beams go out on a winding road in back country of wisconsin with many deer and other moving night creatures. Both high beam bulbs shattered during this trip, leaving glass fragments inside the lens assembly and it also left a white discoloration (tungsten deposition?) on the inside plastic lenses of one headlight, which seems to reduce the low beam visibility. Nhtsa reference # 10037591 tsb reference # sb-0044-10 rev 1 description: toyota: on some 2008-2010 avalon vehicles, the high beam light bulbs may not work or shatter. This 2008 solara was put into service in april of 2008 and should be covered by the 72k mile, 5 year warranty extension, just like the 2008 avalon recall. How come only the avalon was covered? I believe this should also apply to the 2008 solara model also as it uses a very similar headlight assembly and suffers from the same issue.
