Low beam headlight went out at 48,000 miles. The low beam headlight is sealed which does not allow for bulb replacement. You have to replace the entire headlight assembly. Every other bulb in the assembly can be replaced. Will we begin seeing vehicles with no headlights due to the prohibitive cost and no option for bulb replacement.

1. This form assumes i own the vehicle. A better form should be available where i can report issues with other vehicles. So most of incident data is not relevant in this complaint. 2 actual complaint is regarding 2015 and newer toyota corollas. Their low beam head lights are blinding and a danger. A recall must be issued to fix the low beams

Possible problems in lighting. Car by design has led headlights which are also the daytime running lights. The daytime running lights are so bright that the operator could drive in the dark failing to notice that the real headlight are not on. The main problem is when just the daytime running lights are on, there is no tailights, thus a person could drive without taillights and be hit from behind on a dark road.

The main front led low-beam is a problem on all trims of this current generation. It is too bright and blinds oncoming drivers, there is also a hard cutoff line in which you can't see anything above it. They also poorly light the road. The beam goes everywhere but the road. It seems they are incorrectly aimed. There is also a tail-light problem that affects the higher-end trims of this generation. There is a drl…

The new toyota corolla's have several issues with their headlight design. First, the daytime running lamps on vehicles with the xenon or led lights appears to be the same lights that run at night when you turn on the switch. This means that people in oncoming lanes constantly flash their lights thinking the bright lights are on during the day because it is extremely bright. I've also noticed that a lot of other…

Please look into all 2015+ toyota corollas with the high intensity discharge lights seem to be aimed higher than normal or have improper light taming lenses. When approaching they blind oncoming drivers.

Everyday i see at least 5 people in 2014-2016 corolla models driving down the road with their drls on but no other lights. This occurs because the vehicles equipped with led headlights use their regular beam as the drl and people assume they have automatic headlights. However this is extremely dangerous as there are no taillights on. I have seen so many people driving in the pitch black with no taillights. Please…

When driving the toyota corolla s 2015 at night and especially when going downhill, half of the windshield is dark horizontally from the middle up. Some drivers and passengers may experience more depending on the height of the person driving or riding in the vehicle. The windshield appears to go completely dark in some cases and is very scary! This is my dads car and he is 67 years old and is scared to drive at…

The low-beam light design on the lens cover cuts off the top view of light at night time. You see light from the ground up but only halfway up. From there you only see darkness. It looks like a half-lit moon beam from the ground up. You only see the bottom half of the trees it is like a straight line drawn between the middle of your view in front of the car. White on the bottom half and black on the top half. I am…
