Description of the problem	I purchased a 2017 rav4 le in december 2017. After driving it in the dark, i realized how horrible the headlights are. I had them adjusted on may 5, 2018, but little difference was noticed. Those that buy the high end models of the rav4 get better headlights. And they cannot be retro fitted into the le model. Driving at night scares the bejezzus out of me. My parents live in montana (lots of wildlife), and hitting a deer is not my idea of fun. I drive high beams as much as possible, but don't want another car to wreck due to my headlights. I can't even see across the street with the headlights on low beam. I can't believe toyota has not remedied this issue. Driving in the rain on november 23, 2018, was horrible! I couldn't even tell if the headlights were on. I went to the toyota dealership on november 24, 2018, and gave the salesman a piece of my mind. I will not buy another toyota as long as these headlights remain an issue. This is extremely dangerous and puts people at risk of their lives if driving at night. I will see what they come back with after my discussion the other night. I wasn't able to drive most of 2017 due to medical issues, so i didn't realize this problem. Toyota is better than this and should be embarassed by the situation. I've spoke with them several times about this problem and they know who i am when in the dealership. The next step is to write to the toyota corporation about my specific complaint. I had a 2009 rav4 and did not have this issue. A huge black eye for toyota.
