    anyone else has? Do you know if they replace the whole head light or how it works?
    My inner lens appear to be cracked and separated
    thanks

    They replace the whole assembly; new pair of headlights. Certain models' dtrl cover melts over time.

    Mine were replaced today. The new units have an amber bulb with a clear cover. Let's see how long it takes before they start melting.

    Dealership ordered my replacements when I went in for regular maintenance. This will be the 2nd time for replacement so hopefully this time will be a charm.

    Because this problem has been occurring for the past several years now, as well as reoccurring Toyota has issued an extended warranty to cover the problem.
