Headlights problems of the 2007 Lexus RX350

Moisture in headlights causing spread out light beam and possible rust/short circuit in electrical system.

2007 Lexus RX 350. Consumer writes in regards to defective headlight assembly in vehicle. The consumer stated a class action law suit was filed, in which it alleged that Toyota knew or should have known that the headlight assemblies in their vehicles contained numerous distinct and serious latent design and/or manufacturing defects that caused them to be highly prone to condensation or moisture, but continued to fail to do anything about it. The consumer stated the fact of the matter, was defective parts, including defects in the headlamp housing, water and moisture were able to enter the headlight assembly and damage interior components, including damaging the electrical control until. Which has proven to lead to serious safety hazards such as loss of illumination from one or both headlamps at unpredictable intervals, exposing drivers and those who they share the road with to significant and unreasonable danger, which is the exact problem she experienced with her vehicle.

I went to Lexus of chantilly (va) for routine maintenance and they told me I needed some bulbs replaced. I agreed to pay for the bulb replacement. About 2 weeks later, I noticed condensation in the headlight. I went back to Lexus chantilly and indicated that there had not been a problem with my headlight until after they replaced the bulb. They stated they did not cause this and that "this condensation problem just sometimes happens with the RX's. Water leaks into the headlight assembly". Since it appears that Lexus knows this, they should fix it or have a recall. Lexus chantilly stated that it would be "very expensive" to have the light fixed. I was thoroughly annoyed with them, (especially since I believe that they did indeed cause the issue), so I instead went to Lexus of silver spring (MD). Lexus silver spring told me that my car was out of warranty, so it would cost $2,200 to fix the light. What?! I asked why it was going to be so ridiculously expensive. They stated because they have to take the entire light housing out and will need to remove part of the bumper to do this and replace some kind of computer chip. Now my light is almost burned out from the moisture, so I have no choice but to eventually pay and get it replaced. (I know nothing about cars or I'd try to do it myself, but I don't want to cause any additional issues). Since Lexus knows about this problem (both Lexus service stations stated "this is just something that happens with the RX"), they should create a fix for this, recall it, or at least make the replacement cost less expensive. I have owned 3 Lexus vehicles, but because of this issues, this may be my final Lexus! extraordinarily annoyed about this!!!.

My Lexus 2007 RX 350 has heavy water condensation in the headlights in the driver side of the vehicle that is causing my headlights to flicker and shut off. Repeated calls to Lexus customer care has not resulted in anything. I took the vehicle to the dealer and got their vehicle inspector to inspect and got a detailed report endorsing my complaint that it is the problem with the Lexus headlight design that allows heavy water condensation causing my headlights to blow up. Very frustrated with the way Lexus people are behaving and this is not what you expect after you buy an expensive vehicle. This problem of theirs is directly putting me and other fellow motorists under risk.

Headlight fills with condensation dimming light dealer states this happens and did nothing to help except want to charge 1700$ to replace unit.
