Description of the problem	Automatic high beams (ahb) malfunction. When driving at night the ahb systems occasionally (every ~10 minutes lately) shuts down and the green "auto high beam" indicator goes off - resulting in total loss of high beams in all ambient conditions. This usually lasts about a minute and then the systems recovers. There are many cases of this reported on the internet - which can be found by googling "toyota auto high beams malfunction". The issue seems to affect all toyota and lexus vehicles manufactured in the last ~3 years and equipped with ahb. Lexus owners seem to be able to successfully fix this under warranty by their dealers - the fix is cleaning the camera lens and the windshield in front of the camera. Unfortunately it seems impossible to get this addressed by toyota. I had two dealer visits and two calls with toyota customer service - each time they just try to convince me that "i am using it wrong". By the way i have a video of this happening and showed it my dealer but was denied warranty service nevertheless. A similar video available on youtube - just search for "a_32t4qtx4m" there.
