Lexus RX330 owners have reported 4 problems related to exterior lighting (under the exterior lighting category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Defects in headlamp assembly caused water from rain to accumulate inside the lamp, overtime, the water caused the hi-voltage unit to short out and the headlamp is in-operative (this is for the low beam hid lights). Replacement cost is $1,800 per lamp assembly (dealers quote). This is a safety issue since the low beam is not available for driving at night.

Head lights water ingress, light failure.
Dashboard completely cracking all over. Front lights fogged over, cannot drive car at night time due to this due to safety hazard.
The passenger side headlamp of the Rx330 ceased operation due to a buildup of moisture. Condensation has been present in the headlamp for some time, but there were no indications that it would lead to headlamp failure. The SUV is maintained by the dealership exclusively, and at no point did they mention the possibility that the condensation could cause failure. The failure occurred at night in a dark section of highway and could have led to serious bodily harm or death. Lexus has been aware of the problems with the Rx330 headlamps since 2005 and has failed to remedy the problem. The moisture issues could potentially result in serious harm to the driver and occupants of the Lexus or other motorists.
