ALTHOUGH I WAS STILL WITHIN THE WARRANTY MILEAGE, I WAS OVER BY A FEW MONTHS ON THE 36-MONTH WARRANTY (I BOUGHT THE TRUCK USED IN DEC-2011.)  I JUST HEARD FROM MY LOCAL DEALER THAT I'VE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH CONCERNING THE MELTING LENSES IN MY '09 TACOMA TRD. I TRIED TO GET TOYOTA TO REPLACE THE LAMP ASSEMBLY AND THEY WOULD ONLY COVER HALF OF THE REPLACEMENT AND SUBSEQUENT RE-AIMING OF THE HEAD LIGHTS.  I THEN PRINTED OUT SOME INSTRUCTIONS TO INSTALL A TOYOTA RELAY AND JUMPER WIRES TO TURN THE DTRL FUNCTION OFF, LEAVING THE TURN SIGNAL FUNCTION ALONE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, TOYOTA WILL NOT SIGN OFF ON, NOR ALLOW THEIR DEALERS TO MAKE THIS MODIFICATION, EVEN THOUGH THE PARTS ARE ALL TOYOTA OEM PARTS.      I WOULD ALSO STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT EVERY OWNER OF A TACOMA THAT IS HAVING ANY ISSUE (MELTING, BUBBLING, CRACKING ETC.) WITH THE DTRL'S WRITE TOYOTA CORPORATE EXPRESSING THEIR DEEP DISAPPOINTMENT WITH THE QUALITY OF TOYOTA PRODUCTS AND THE CORPORATIONS LACK OF CONCERN FOR THE CUSTOMERS SAFETY BUYING THE PRODUCT. WITH ALL THE NEGATIVE THAT TOYOTA HAS RECEIVED DURING THE PAST FEW YEARS OVER SAFETY RELATED ISSUES, YOU WOULD THINK THAT TOYOTA WOULD BE FALLING ALL OVER THEMSELVES TO CORRECT A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE IN A REQUIRED SYSTEM, INSTEAD OF TAP DANCING AROUND LIKE THEY ARE DOING.      AS A RETIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, I FIND THAT THE RESPONSE I'VE BEEN RECEIVING FROM TOYOTA TO BE PARTICULARLY DISAPPOINTING, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE INVOLVING A MANDATED LIGHTING SYSTEM.  THE STAFF AT NHTSA IS WELCOME TO CONTACT ME AT ANY TIME TO DISCUSS THIS.  *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2009","productMake":"TOYOTA","productModel":"TACOMA","manufacturer":"Toyota Motor Corporation"}]}]}
