Four problems related to headlight switch have been reported for the 2007 Lexus IS250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 07/17/2013

Sitting still in a parking lot. Just started the car. Led lights stopped working on speedometer and rpm. Then I tried to touch my gps and it stopped recognizing my touch. Traveling down the road, my headlights go out and I turn the light switch off and back on and my headlights come back on. Two years later (present time), my headlights still go off while driving or sitting still very frequently. My led lights are still not working and I ended up purchasing another gps screen and had an auto electrician install it for me. Occasionally my air conditioning system has a mind of its own by switching to different setting on its own. I have to turn it off and back on before I can change settings on it myself and sometimes it still won't let me change them. Auto electricians said that they would be chasing a ghost trying to find what is causing all the problems. I have looked up complaints on the model and year of this vehicle online and have found many others having the same problems that I am experiencing. Something needs to be done. This will cost each vehicle owner thousands of dollars before an electrician could possibly be able to find the problem and fix it .

3 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2011

I purchased a cpo Lexus Is250 in 2008, I had intermittent headlight failure brough car into Lexus and was told they couldnt reproduce the problem. Picked my car up brought it home and sure enough the headlight is out. Called Lexus immediately sent a picture of the light out. Brought car back in they switched the headlight and of course the light on the same side went out again. I was very fristrated because as a female and knowing warranty was up soon I feel they didnt care. The light went out again and happens every day I had bulbs replaced and problem still happens. I have been ticketed for light flickering and going out. Driving on highway at 65mpj, check engine and check vsc light go on, car drops power and downshifts very hard, I drop to 40 mph in the left lane of highway. Check vsc and check engine light on at 1.

4 Headlight Switch problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2009

My headlights on my 2007 Lexus Is250 turn off while driving. My car has done this for the past 2 years, anywhere from once a night to 3-5 times in one trip. They will come back on if you turn the light switch off then back on. I brought my car into the dealership and they told me that my bulbs were out (2 years ago) and they replaced both bulbs for about $650. 00. The lights continued to turn off. I brought my car and was told there was nothing they could do.
