In owners' own words
The passenger side headlamp turns off after approx. Two minutes. I can turn the lights off then back on and the light will come back on. Then approx. 2 Minutes later it will turn off again. I have replaced the bulb twice already. Toyota stated they can take a look at it to try to determine the problem, but they want to charge me for it. I believe this is a safety defect and not normal wear and tear. Exterior lighting · reported at 90,000 miles
The riders side front low beam head light operates intermittently. We received a fix it ticket; but the light worked the next day and got the ticket signed off. However the riders side low beam light continues to work and not work intermittently. Out mechanic told us the high intensity light module needs to be replaced. It seems to me this is a safety issue Toyota should address. Exterior lighting · reported at 157,650 miles
The passenger side low beam headlight will turn off within about 30 seconds of turning the headlights on. The passenger side light will be on after turning the lights off and on again. This passenger side light will then turn off again after about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. This happens whether the vehicle is in motion or stopped. Exterior lighting · reported at 130,000 miles
