| I bought a 2008 toyota highlander in december 2007. i did not test drive the vehicle at night. after a few weeks, i tried to back up at night. the lights are completely inadequate and they are a safety hazard. i have to get out of the vehicle every few feet and check to make sure there is nothing/no one in my path when backing up at night. i asked the dealer to check/repair the lights. they said this is a common complaint but there is nothing they can do to fix it. it is not safe to back up the vehicle at night because the lights do not illuminate enough to see if someone is in your path. i have asked the manufacturer for help fixing the problem but they said there is nothing they can do. *tr | |||
