Purchased a brand new 2007 toyota camry solara in march 2008 with 22 miles on it. Beginning in 2014 while driving the vehicle, the passenger headlight would go out within 5-10 minutes of driving. By turning the headlights on and off, the headlight would stay on. Beginning in 2015 while driving the vehicle at night, the passenger headlight started going out after 3-5 minutes operation and I would turn the lights on and off and the light would stay on for another 3-5 minutes. I replaced the bulb, only to find the problem was reoccurring. Had the fuses checked by a mechanic'they were fine. Had the wiring checked, it was fine. What started happening shortly afterwards is dangerous and frightening: while driving the vehicle, both headlights went out without notification and it took 2-3 times of turning them on and off before they both came back on' then 3-5 minutes later the passenger headlight went out. I have tried every combination of lights I know, brights, automatic, manual.. High beams, fog.. The passenger headlight will go out. This evening while driving in the dark, both headlights went out on a winding road, I decided it was time to re-investigate to see if this is a recurring/known problem. Sadly, it appears to be a known problem in a forum, but not an admitted problem by the manufacturer. I cannot sell/trade the vehicle knowing of this issue, nor would I gift this vehicle to my teen. I am stuck with this vehicle until I can find a true resolution.

The passenger side low beam headlight will turn off within about 30 seconds of turning the headlights on. The passenger side light will be on after turning the lights off and on again. This passenger side light will then turn off again after about 30 seconds to 2 minutes. This happens whether the vehicle is in motion or stopped.

Driver and/or passenger headlight will unexpectedly turn off while driving. Headlights will be operating normally and without reason, one of the headlights will go out. This presents a danger to me in my vehicle as well as other vehicles on the road. If I turn off the headlights and turn them on again, the lights will go back on but you don't know for how long before they go out again. Mine is a 2007 toyota solara with approximately 85,000 miles. This has occurred twice in the past couple of weeks while driving the vehicle. I've seen multiple complaints for this same issue from other solara and prius owners.

Headlights will sporadically turn off when driving. Turning them off and back on seems to temporarily solve the issue.

We bought the car new off the show room floor in 2008 the left head light stop working $375.00 to replace this is with me doing the work. In 2014 the right head light stop working I went to toyota and ask if any one was having a problem with this and was there a recall on it was told no. This time it was $500.00 to fix the problem and this was me doing the work after looking at the web site looks as if toyota has a problem and does not want to address it I see other people have the same problem. Is it going to take someone getting killed to get them to look into the problem and fix it.

My wife nearly crashed our 2007 toyota solara when the left front low beam light failed at night and then in less than five minutes the right front light low beam failed. My wife was driving approximately 70 MPH on a rural stretch of I-85 in north carolina. I had replaced the right front light only three days earlier. The high beams continued to work but the next day in a test in daylight the low beams worked and then failed again within five minutes and the high beams also failed within twenty (20) minutes. I have since read the online website auto recalls for consumers (arfc) that this is a recurring problem in 2007 toyota solaras. Toyota is risking deaths by not addressing this problem. I called toyota (800‑331‑4331) but toyota was [xxx] and had heard nothing about nothing. The reaction would be humorous except that it happens while people are driving at high speed and it could kill them, especially at 70 MPH, the legal speed limit on I-85 in rural north carolina. My wife will not drive the car anymore even in daylight because she fears a headlight problem. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

While driving the headlight go out. If I turn them off then back on they come on. Some times this happens every minute or so and sometime they work fine. I have replaced the left low beam thinking I had a bad light. I think this is a safety issue and should be fixed by the manufacture.

Hid headlights turn off while driving. Problem is sporadic. May include one or both lights turning off. It is not a bulb issue. Similar to toyota prius hid light issues.
