    I have a 2007 package 5 and one of my headlights occasionally flickers and goes out, but if I turn the headlights off then on it comes back on for a bit til it turns off again. I just got this car used, and I am wondering if this is normally how these lights act at the end of their lifespan or do they just burn out for good like a regular lightbulb and this could maybe be a wiring issue?

    Thanks!

    Take your time and read some of these threads, Toyota acknowledges the problem and has been reimbursing money for work done by dealers when replacement is necessary, don't know if you will qualify, you can buy the bulbs and install them yourself if you have the time, tools.

    Odd. It works for me. I used to be able to copy and paste the URL from a Google search into PC and have it work. Google's recent changes seem to be causing that to not work. Perhaps it works for me since the search is still cached on my browser.

    Anyway, since it isn't working, let me try it another way and see if this works:

    Google

    See if that one works for you.
