■ Condensation build-up on the inside of the lens
Temporary condensation build-up on the inside of the headlight lens does
not indicate a malfunction.
Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional, for more information in the following situations:
● Large drops of water are built up on the inside of the lens.
● Water has built up inside the headlight.
■ Discharge headlights (if equipped)

or may go out temporarily. The disc harge bulbs will come on when normal
power is restored.

The front position lights/daytime running lights (discharge headlights), stop
lights and high mounted stoplight consist of a number of LEDs. If any of the
LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional to have the light
replaced.

WARNING
■ Replacing light bulbs
● Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
● Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands.
When it is unavoidable to hold the gl ass portion, use and hold with a clean
dry cloth to avoid getting moisture and oils on the bulb.
Also, if the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
● Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failing to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
● Vehicles with discharge headlights:
While the headlights are turned on, and
for a short time after they have been
turned off, metal components at the
rear of the headlight assembly will be
extremely hot. To prevent burns, do not
touch these metal components until you
are certain they have cooled down.
