Description of the problem	On july 18, 2014 while traveling out of town, i smelled a burning while driving on the interstate. Pull over at the next rest stop to look the car over and i notice the headlight cover had burned. On july 22, 2014, back in town, i took the car to toyota dealership and was informed that 51 previous bulb melted and discolored headlight housing. Please note that the bulb was replaced at the dealership two months ago. I was also advised that no light is escaping from housing which may cause it to overheat over a period of time and estimate cost to replace housing - $499. 75 (includes all labor and taxes). My concern is that this bulb melted and cause a burn on the headlight cover, this is a defect and consumers should not be paying for a defective part that cost almost $500. 00. This requires the complete housing to be replaced and not the cover nor does it repair the problem since this can happen again.
