Description of the problem	The daytime running lights have burned into the inner areas of my headlight assemblies and it continues to get worse. Seeing as they cannot be turned off and they continue to get worse i fear they may one day cause a fire or further damage. I have talked to the dealer, toyota corporate and they will do nothing and show no concern for the issue, i drive alot of miles and purchased a toyota due to dependability. When the problem was 1st talked to with toyota the truck was only 1 1/2 years old but had around 40,000 miles to which their excuse was that it is outside the warranty period. Please note that toyota knows this is an issue as they have issued a tsb stating the problem exists and the model year 2012 and forward these are re-designed to eliminate this problem. However there are thousands of these trucks on the roads frm 2005 to 2011 that had the dtrl option and the owners can do nothing to stop this issue from occurring or guarantee their and their families safety. When i talked to toyota they did offer to replace 1 assembly if i paid for the other at a cost of $450? Why should i be required to pay to fix their poorly engineered parts that they know are an issue? You can find aftermarket light assemblies for around $80 online and i cannot believe that it costs toyota $450 to produce this assembly, they were not making me a deal and paying for 1, i was paying for both! Toyota should recall these assemblies and replace as at this point it shows that toyota has no plans of doing the right thing and correcting the known problem without being told they have to.
