Consumer Description

WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR LITERALLY A WEEK LATER THE DRIVERS SIDE HEAD LIGHT STARTED FLICKERING AND EVENTUALLY TURNED OFF. I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY TURN IT ON AND OFF TO HAVE BOTH HEAD LIGHTS ENGAGE. I CAN HAVE IT PARK FOR AS LITTLE AS 5 MINUTES AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT BY ITSELF. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO SEVERAL TOYOTA DEALERS AND MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB BUT IT CAN'T BE THE LIGHT BULB BECAUSE THE LIGHT TURNS ON SO IT MUST BE SOMETHING ELSE. SO I BOUGHT A NEW LIGHT HID BULB AND IT KEEPS TURNING ON AND OFF. SO IM NOT UNDERSTANDING. I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO TOYOTA DEALER TO GET IT CHECK OUT AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING LIGHT BULB NEEDS TO BE REPLACE. *TR
