2007 Rx350. Condensation in passenger side headlight. They issued a "warranty enhancement" to avoid a class action lawsuit. That program has expired and they tell you, "OH well, pay us 2100. 00 if you want headlights that work".

Headlight lowbeam failure due to excess water condensation inside light assembly. It is a manufacturing defect that Lexus has kept secret throughout the years. Instead if issuing an expensive recall on all the years affected, they simply fixed as the cars came in with the problem. They know that it is cheaper for them to do so in that manner because most Lexus owners garage their vehicles and wont have the failure untill it is too late. Their program to fix the problem ends within a 10 year period. Can you investigate and force Lexus to issue a recall on all cars affected regardless age or ownership. My lights failed during the rain at nightwhile going home. It really is a very important safety issue.

My left headlight went out while driving and I found water and condensation in headlight assembly compartment. Entire compartment needs to be replaced at cost of $1650. 00. In researching this make and model has other consumers experiencing the same issue. I believe this is manufacturer defect that has caused seals to malfunction allowing excessive water into the light compartment which causes all electrical components to fail.

Lexus Rx 330 headlight assembly is defective. Everytime I wash my Rx330 or if it rains, water leak in the headlight assembly creates moisture inside the headlights. This causes less visibility at nights and is a safety issue. There are several hundred complaints for the same issue on the web; however, Lexus/Toyota will not recall their defective headlight assembly. They are even reluctant to acknowledge that this is an issue. Will appreciate if NHTSA investigates this issue and take necessary action against Lexus ASAP.
: the contact stated that the exterior headlights would not illuminate far enough while driving in the evening at a speed of 70 mph. The vehicle was taken to the dealers who adjusted the headlights but were unable to determine the cause of the problem. The vehicle is still experiencing the same problems.
