Low beam headlight went out at 48,000 miles. The low beam headlight is sealed which does not allow for bulb replacement. You have to replace the entire headlight assembly. Every other bulb in the assembly can be replaced. Will we begin seeing vehicles with no headlights due to the prohibitive cost and no option for bulb replacement.

1. This form assumes I own the vehicle. A better form should be available where I can report issues with other vehicles. So most of incident data is not relevant in this complaint. 2 actual complaint is regarding 2015 and newer toyota corollas. Their low beam head lights are blinding and a danger. A recall must be issued to fix the low beams

Possible problems in lighting. Car by design has LED headlights which are also the daytime running lights. The daytime running lights are so bright that the operator could drive in the dark failing to notice that the real headlight are not on. The main problem is when just the daytime running lights are on, there is no tailights, thus a person could drive without taillights and be hit from behind on a dark road.

The main front LED low-beam is a problem on all trims of this current generation. It is too bright and blinds oncoming drivers, there is also a hard cutoff line in which you can't see anything above it. They also poorly light the road. The beam goes everywhere but the road. It seems they are incorrectly aimed. There is also a tail-light problem that affects the higher-end trims of this generation. There is a drl option, which is the first one, that turns on the front low-beam, you can see that your front headlights are on, but you don't realize your tail-lights aren't on and that you have to turn the stock again to turn them on. There is no indicator on the dash that signifies any sort of exterior lighting is on besides the high-beam. I've seen multiple corolla drivers on the road with only drls on at night. The lower end trims don't suffer this problem because you can't see the dash at night without turning on the taillights, the higher end trims have an always lit dash. This creates a hazard in which the corolla in front of you is unlit in the rear and allows a rear-end collision because you can't see them.

2014+ toyota corolla headlights are too bright and blind on-coming drivers

The new toyota corolla's have several issues with their headlight design. First, the daytime running lamps on vehicles with the xenon or LED lights appears to be the same lights that run at night when you turn on the switch. This means that people in oncoming lanes constantly flash their lights thinking the bright lights are on during the day because it is extremely bright. I've also noticed that a lot of other people with this same car don't realize they have to manually turn on their lights since the brightness of the daytime running lamps is the same as when the switch is turned on. People must think they have automatic headlights and subsequently fail to turn their light switch on which means they have no rear lights. I can see this causing so many accidents, especially in the rain or at night. It is extremely dangerous. People have also complained to me that it looks like the bright lights are on when they're not and the headlights are "blindingly bright", but how the lights are aimed or designed, they don't cast much light on the road ahead. It seems like the light is just diffused in all different directions instead of in a beam like normal headlights. There is a huge issue with these new corolla models' lighting systems and toyota needs to retrofit them immediately to prevent accidents. In addition, this car basically has no power which makes it next to impossible to pull out in traffic as the awful CVT transmission takes forever to respond. Once the engine has finally woken up from its sleep, it offers terrible response and is extremely slow picking up speed. This is an issue with all corolla's because of how heavy the car is for how little power toyota gives it. I also hate the huge blind spots created by the awkwardly shaped rear end. I'm glad this is just a rental car, but I feel so bad for owners of this type of car.

Please look into all 2015+ toyota corollas with the high intensity discharge lights seem to be aimed higher than normal or have improper light taming lenses. When approaching they blind oncoming drivers.

Everyday I see at least 5 people in 2014-2016 corolla models driving down the road with their drls on but no other lights. This occurs because the vehicles equipped with LED headlights use their regular beam as the drl and people assume they have automatic headlights. However this is extremely dangerous as there are no taillights on. I have seen so many people driving in the pitch black with no taillights. Please issue mandatory recall to refit vehicles with warning that headlights aren't automatic in off position even with drl on or add light sensor that can detect darkness and automatically activates taillights. This should also apply to rainy conditions as hardly any toyota drivers know that most states require headlights on in rain.
