Eight problems related to headlights have been reported for the 2007 Lexus IS250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When operating the front headlights, the lights will fade off during driving. The bulb does not go completely out, but within a few minutes of driving, they will go out. I have to click the lights on and off for them to come back on. I have had one bulb replaced, and will have the other replaced as well. This seems to be a common issue with this vehicle as I have a CO-worker that experiences the same with his is350 Lexus.
Vehicle headlights go out while driving. I have done some research and discovered it is a major problem with this model and would like to know why there has not been a recall to address the problem. I have a 16 year old driving this vehicle and I am very concerned.
The headlight light bulb is out on the driver's side, but works properly when not overheated.
The contact owns a 2007 Lexus is 250. While driving approximately 55 mph on a dark road, the headlights failed. The failure recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the headlights needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 90,000.
My 2007 Lexus Is250 awd has started having complete headlight failures that can be simply corrected by turning the lights off and back on. These failures can happen anytime while driving or at rest.
The contact owns a 2007 Lexus Is250. The contact stated that while driving 60 mph the headlights turned off independently without any warnings. The contact mentioned he had to park and restart the vehicle to get the lights to turn on. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was awaiting diagnosis. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileages was 103,000.
While driving at night the left (driver side) headlight lamp will just go out. Then I have to turn off all of the lights completely and turn them back on immediately, then it will come back on, but sometimes I can tell its out by looking at the reflection in a vehicle in front of me, then other times I don't know it's out unless someone flashes me and I'm afraid the police are going to pull me over and give me a ticket for a headlight being out. I feel there is a short somewhere because it comes back on if I turn off the lights completely and turn them back on real quick. It happens at least every night (or morning dusk to dawn hours), sometimes twice a night. Besides it being annoying it is dangerous not having both lights on while driving at night or in the rain.
While driving the headlights on my 2007 Is250 will just go off. Most of the time it is the left one, occasionally the right one will go out. I have to turn the lights off and right back on, then they will stay on. This has been happening intermittently for a couple of years. It happens more frequently now, several times each week. The dealer says that the bulb is going out and needs to be replaced,going out for a couple of years? really. I would have believed that if I had not seen so many complaints regarding the same thing. I was told by the dealer the bulbs would be replaced under the warranty but not the extended warranty. I have around 45,000 or 46,000 miles.
