My right front headlamp is getting moisture inside the headlamp assembly. It can be inspected any time. Chance that headlamp will not work. Did not take to a dealer.

Headlights failing or too dim by model year
What owners say
Headlights in the on or auto position randomly go out when blinker returns to neutral position after being engaged. This has happened while in motion at low and highspeeds on city streets and highways and coming out of a completed stop. Cannot determine if this is a short in wiring harness or if triggered by faulty component.
My headlights shut off when using my turn signal
My 2016 toyota tundra 1794 crewmax, during winter months in midwest - the headlights and and internal instrumentation will turn off when turning left or right with turn signal engaged. The automatic lights are engaged on column stalk and the issue occurs at night. The vehicle is in motion
Headlights, taillights, and dashlights all go off when using the turn signal. This has happened half a dozen times at night when the temperature is in the 30's, both when turning on narrow unlit rural roads, and on the interstate at 75mph when changing lanes. It is a common problem with the 1794 edition of the tundra with the automatic headlights. You can find dozens of other tundra owners who have experienced this problem, including a video on the tundra.com website. See link below: https://www.tundras.com/threads/auto-headlights-shut-off-with-turn-signal.22968/ this is exactly what has happend to me, and it is scary dangerous. I reported this to the federal safety agency back in december, and toyota has yet to do anything about it. They have not even issued a service bulletin. Please get them to fix this! Even my toyota service agreement won't fix my tundra, because the dealer can't replicate the problem (it's not cold, and they close at 6 when it's not dark!), and there is no service bulletin or anything from toyota acknowledging this is even a problem. I'm begging you, at least get toyota to acknowledge there is a probem and figure out how to fix it!!
Headlights turn off intermittently when the left turn signal is used and the headlights switch is in auto more. Dealership can't/won't replicate the issue so they will not troubleshoot further. This is a problem that a lot of platinum and 1794 edition toyota tundras are having and it is being ignored by toyota; https://www.tundras.com/threads/auto-headlights-shut-off-with-turn-signal.22968/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2tzrplq9wp4 I've had it into the dealership to check and they say there is nothing they can do. Pickup only has about 26k miles on it. First time it happened was on a freeway cloverleaf in the rain and luckily there were street lights because I was in the middle of a merge. Other times it has been signaling to turn left and entering the center turn lane on multi-lane roads. Always happens while it is dark outside because that's when the headlights are in auto which makes it more dangerous.
The headlights and interior dash lights randomly turn off when using the blinker. I have owned this truck for 3 months now and it has happened on four different occasions. I cannot replicate this issue on my own.
While driving at night, the activation of turn signal intermittently shuts off headlights. To re-energize headlights I have to manually switch the headlight switch from auto to on. This is very disturbing and dangerous while driving at night in rural areas. I am hoping someone addresses this with toyota, since if they can't replicate the issue they send you home!
On my 2016 toyota tundra platinum edition, at night with headlights in "auto" position, when I use turn signal, the headlights, taillights and dash lights all occasionally turn off. Once turn signal shuts off, lights come back on . It typically happens at night when it's cold out. Them is intermittent, this is so scary! I was going down the freeway at 80 MPH at night and my truck (full of my family) just disappeared when I changed lanes. I have taken my truck in 3 times now and toyota can't replicate so they says they can't fix it. Please help! Before someone gets hurt.
On my 2016 toyota tundra 1794 edition, with headlights in "auto" position, when I use turn signal, the headlights, taillights and dash lights all occasionally turn off. Once turn signal shuts off, lights come back on . It typically happens at night when it's cold out. It has now happened probably half a dozen times in the last six months. While problem is intermittent, it's very scary, as I'm driving blind on a rural road until the light come back on. On the tundras.com owners website, this appears to be a common issue. Help! Before someone gets hurt.
If the headlights are set to auto and I signal a left turn and turn to the left, the headlights shut off and the interior lights switch to "day mode". The issue seems intermittent. It seems to occur in cooler temps (<50f).
All lights (headlamps and tail lamps and instrument panel) turn off when using turn signal. This typically happens when changing lanes at highway speed. I am not the only one experiencing this problem. Seems to occur in 2015-2017 toyota tundras (1794 & platinum editions). See thread.
