 Description of the problemI was driving with bright lights on i had fog lights on first time i had ever used them had a left turn to make turned turn signal on all lights went out i was in total darkness i turned signal off and lights came back on i pulled off the road i hit the signal again and the lights went our again and the gps unit we noticed changed from night mode to day mode. I turned signal off and the lights came back on i played around making it do it again and again so i thought this has never happened before what caused this ? Since this was the first time ever driving using fog lights i turned them off then the turn signal had no effect so i assumed it had to be in fog lights i left them on and it didn't do it again. Latter in safer setting like in my drive way i found out it would happen with fog light off it seemed to be dependent on lights being on bright when i used either turn signal. It then stopped and i couldn't make it do it any more so i never made a appointment about two weeks ago it done it again while i was driving again this time it was doing it a lot so i made an appointment to get it fixed on my extended warranty 100 deductible took it to where i bought it and it wouldn't do it for them or me. So i paid them the 100.$ came home it hasn't done it again for about 5 days so far waiting for a cold spell in mid 20 deg to see if that makes any difference. But i did go on line and found forums for tundra people experiencing same thing the tundras had the exact problem i am having this is dangerous i have been lucky so far and have not had a wreck i cant believe toyota doesn't know about this they had problems with other cars lights going out and lost a class action suit. This is an intermittent problem and could never get it to the dealer and make it do this. My bother in law was with me the first time they went out the tech got them to flicker 1 time no fix thou.
