1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2025

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.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2016

I have a serious safety concern regarding the lack of daytime vehicle instrument illumination on my new 2016 Toyota Tundra (while driving, stationary and on all roads) during the day. As an elder adult who wears sunglasses to protect their eyes (on the recommendation of the medical profession) the dash board (specifically the speedometer indicator) is barely discernible. Even without sunglasses the instrument panel is very dark. I am sure there are thousands of others who would like to see the instruments and operate their vehicles in a safe and lawful manner during the daytime or with sunglasses on. I am sure the decision, by Toyota, to not illuminate the dash in the daytime saves a few pennies and adds up for the manufacturer when you sell thousands of vehicles? but. . . Not being able to see a dark instrument panel is bound to cause more than a few accidents.
