When a bulb goes out, and I can't slap it back on,Toyota finds filament breakage. I asked them what could be done to stop this from happening, and they suggested a different type of headlight that costs a couple of hundred for each side. Is there a plug inreplacement bulb that is less prone to breakage, and doesn't cost hundreds of dollars?
