    It looks as if there's a small amount of water getting into my headlights

    There are water spots behind them I noticed after washing my car today...

    Is this pretty common or something I should call toyota about?

    I never noticed thus happening after a rain storm or anything

    I know these heights are pretty extensive so I figured I'd ask

    Isn't it still under warranty? I haven't had that happen nor have I seen reports of it.

    Yes, it is.

    They originally wrote this off

    But when it was mentioned to a tech they asked me to bring it back in and noticed water stains were on one side rather than both

    A few days later I was told this was reported to toyota and they were going to have another tech look at it in a few weeks.

    Dealership manager also has notified me he's already ordered a replacement headlight to have on hand in case they authorize a replacement
