    My 2011 has these burn marks really bad. I need mine replaced. Think I have around 87k miles. Either way,I think Toyota should replace them, not me. My headlight assembly is melting and brown in the middle.

    Anzo sent me a replacement harness for the right. Then the other one failed so they're sending me another one. Good on them for helping out. I probably won't keep these in though. Mold and peeling plastic covering not good.

    I bought a used 2009 Tacoma in Jan. 2016, the orange turn signal/running light lens covers were burnt so bad they had broken in half.
    The original owner either didn't know to try to get it replaced or more likely, from what I've read here and on other sites they were turned down by toyota.
    After learning here that toyota won't cover the replacement of what is obviously a manufacturer defect I bought a pair of after market replacement headlight assemblies for $80 on eBay. It's been under a year and the orange lens is bubbling and will burn and break just like the originals.
    My right turn signal bulb just burned out so I'm looking to replace the bulbs with LED bulbs and LED load resistors in the hopes of preventing further damage.

    I agree, this is a manufacturer defect and should be covered.

    Mine have been like that for about 2 yrs. Everytime I go to the dealer for oil change they never say anything about my headlights. They said, "let me check for any recalls" but say nothing about the headlights.
    Today finally one broke off.

    I was going to buy new ones but I thought I would come here first to see if anyone had any issues.

    I will go to my dealer as soon as I can and see what they tell me about them.
