Funny considering the argument here is that these lights are too expensive to replace after something like a crash, yet your argument is that we should use headlights that make it much harder to see at night which just leads to more crashes.

Here they are for $470 each with a CAPA certification for body shop repairs:

OEM parts are always going to be ridiculously priced because the OEM has a monopoly on OEM parts. Your 2011 headlamp assembly also has removable bulbs while the newer Avalon uses built-in LED lights with all the circuitry to drive them.

Unfortunately that's the fifth owner's problem so nobody really considers it

I partly agree, headlights are causing harm by blinding other drivers. But adaptive headlights seem to work. Brighter should only be allowed with adaptive headlights

I can drive through a busy area with “high beams” on but watch dark spots move to keep other cars in the dark

You could, but capitalism … most cars do not get aftermarket reflectors, no one would pay the significant cost, and LEDs fit into standard reflectors. There’s a whole bunch of failure here
