It was a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) It said that the daytime running lights (DRL) were too bright and impaired other drivers ability to see your front turn signals. You can take it to a Toyota dealer and they will put in a resistor to dim them down a bit.
A lot of people ignore it, and a lot of people disable the DRL's all together.

I keep ignoring mine. They ARE pretty persistant about reminding me. If I need someone to do something differerent because I am turning, then I am wrong.

I haven't had mine done yet either. Though I did notice that I got flipped off by this guy in front of me for no apparent reason on the way home. Must have thought the DRLs were the brights.

Yeah, I got the letter about the DRL from Toyota too, and now, they sent me a letter about the brake. It's stated that Celicas and Echos are experiencing brake problems. It looks like certain parts are rusty and need to be replaced and to be added by a brake booster or something...
I wonder what's for the next letter Toyota gonna send us... Recalling out the car from the street, lol...
