THE LOW BEAM PART OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IN THE COROLLA SPORTS 2014 IS IRREPLACEABLE. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE COROLLA 2014S ON THE ROAD WITH ATLEAST 1 OF THE LOWBEAM HEADLIGHTS NOT WORKING AND IT COULD BE A PROBLEM EITHER WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OR THE WIRING MUST BE GETTING PINCHED AS IT HAS NO GUARD FROM GETTING PINCHED IF IT'S HARNESSED VIA THE FRONT OF THE CAR NEAR THE BUMPER.
