Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)I have a 2019 Toyota Corolla hatchback and the headlight went out. Instead of replacing the bulb Toyota has made it so you had to purchase the entire unit which is called a headlight assembly unit and that’s in the thousands of dollars the LED lights are supposed to last the lifetime of the car so it makes it really unsafe to drive at night Currently my passenger side light has gone out and like I said it’s in the thousands to replace it so I’m unfortunately not in a position where I can do that and now my driver side light is starting to flicker and starting to cut out. There’s no way to just replace a bulb you have to replace the entire unit which is in the thousands of dollars it makes it very unsafe to drive at night. And Toyota has stated that the LED lights should last the entire life of the vehicle if not longer.
Headlight is not angled correctly and doesn't allow the driver to fully see what is infront of them at night. Dealer inspected and found no issues with alignment, however driving at night is almost like drive without headlights on as they don't show light correctly.
THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT HOUSING(?) CASTS A SHADOW INTO THE LOW BEAM PROJECTION FIELD, OBSCURING ONE'S NIGHTTIME DRIVING VIEW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE SHADOW IS AN INVERTED TRIANGULAR SHAPE THAT HANGS FROM THE TOP SIDE IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE PROJECTION. THIS MAKES FOR A COMPROMISED VIEW AT NIGHT, ESPECIALLY WHEN TRYING TO SEE ANY SCURRYING ANIMALS OR MOVING DEBRIS IN THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VIEW. MY OWN VEHICLE OF THIS MODEL LINE IS BRAND NEW AND UNDAMAGED/UNALTERED.
DRIVE SIDE HEADLIGHT CASTS SHADOW MAKING IT HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THE SHADOW IS ONLY ON DRIVER SIDE. DEALER HAS TRIED TO ADJUST WITH NO SUCCESS. IT'S A DESIGN FLAW.
