Fog Light Switch Problems of Toyota Highlander

The contact owns a 2008 Toyota Highlander. The contact stated that the passenger side headlight lens were fogged and the headlight assembly failed. The failure occurred previously and both the driver and passenger side headlights were replaced. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the seal for the headlight assembly was defective and allowed water to enter. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who filed a report and did not offer any further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 54,000 and the current mileage was 59,000.

Exterior lighting poor lighting from headlight low beams. Design of car seems to get in the way of the beam causing low to no visability. It is especially hard to see the edge of the road with the low beams and this has caused a problem with being able to see deer and avoid hitting them/being hit. I have been to the dealer on several occations to remedy the problem. They have checked alignment, bulbs, positioning, etc. But they tell me it is a design fault of the car and there is nothing they can do. Luckily my model has white fog light. Using them at all times when I drive at night has helped me to see. I need to drive with brights on whenever possible to be able to see the road. The biggest problem comes during rain or fog because one can not use high beams because of the reflection so it is impossible to see the road at night during these conditions. I have documentation of my repair requests and accident report from deer strike if needed.
