Description of the problem	Since 2014 i have had to replace the drivers side bright and dim headlights about every 4-6 months and on the passenger side about every 8 - 10 months. Is there a recall with a problem with the headlights? I got a warning ticket this morning and drive to work in the dark and home in the dark. My round trip is 140/miles daily. The vehicle has been in motion each time they have gone out. I had the casing checked to make sure it wasn't a problem with vibration and that was fine. I no longer go to the toyota dealerships because they are so expensive, but have a small shop change. I am picking up headlights from helena ford/toyota on my way home so they can pop them in when i get to three forks, mt.
