Headlight bulbs burn out within a few months of replacement. This past year 2022, they have been replaced four times. It's never the same headlight, both are faulty.

Water is collecting in the outside taillights (attached to the body, not the rear hatch) on both sides. There are no visible leaks in the seals or holes in the lenses. In the attached photos, finger is pointing to water level on both lenses.

HEAD LIGHTS ARE VERY LOW. CANNOT SEE ANYTHING ON THE ROAD IF THE STREET LIGHTS ARE NOT THERE. THERE IS NOT USE OF HEAD LIGHTS AS IT CANNOT BRING ANY VISIBILITY DURING NIGHT TIME WHICH MAKES NIGHT DRIVES NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE SHOWN THE VEHICLE TO TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING IS GOOD AND HE CANNOT INCREASE THE INTENSITY OF LIGHT. HIGH BEAMS ARE WORKING FINE BUT CANNOT DRIVE IN THE CITY WHILE TURNING THEM ON. NOT SURE HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
