Assuming that the bulbs were Toyota standard-fit, I would suggest you have a valid warranty claim (you still appear to be within the 3 year period). If outwith warranty period, suggest you look at E-bay. I've seen Avensis headlights advertised, and don't think they sold for an excessive amount....

Headlights seem to be a major issue with new style Avensis. Mine were replaced due to condensation within 1 month of purhcase.

Its a common problem guys, they've modified the headlamp now. Go see your local dealer if its still in warranty
