THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING THE HIGHWAY BOTH OF MY HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY FAILED. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME BACK ON AFTER TURNING THEM OFF AND BACK ON. FIRST TOYOTA TOLD ME IT WAS CAUSED BY A BAD AUXILIARY BATTERY AND CHARGED ME OVER $200 FOR THE BATTERY. BUT THAT VERY NIGHT I HAD THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN,TOYOTA TRIED TO TELL ME THAT THE BULBS ARE JUST BURNT OUT. I AM NOT AN IDIOT, LIGHT BULBS DO NOT BURNOUT AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AND A BURNTOUT LIGHTBULB DOES NOT COME BACK ON. AFTER FIGHTING WITH TOYOTA AND THEM WANTING TO CHARGE ME ALMOST $2000 TO FIX THIS ISSUE (I HAVE A 100,000 MILE WARRANTY) THEY REPAIRED IT FREE. NOW 2 YEARS AND 24,000 MILES LATER THEY ARE GOING OUT AGAIN. I HAVE FIVE DAYS LEFT ON MY WARRANTY THAT I HAD TO FIGHT TO GET TO COVER IT BEFORE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND HAVING BOTH YOUR HEADLIGHTS GO OUT ON YOU! *JS
