Allow me to repeat. Toyota has now recalled over 12,300,000 vehicles. 
This recall involves housings that have changed from amber to white. As a result, Toyota has cheaply decided to merely replace the white bulbs with amber ones.  This decision reduces light output by up to 75%, making the light harder to see.

So basically, they used a 15 cent part where they should have used a 20 cent part, and are trying to fix it with a 4 cent part because that way, they're still coming out ahead. As least it isn't as bad as the gas pedal floor mat solution (remove floor mat and saw off pedal). When will car companies learn that cheaping out on stuff ends up costing them more in the long run?
