2000 Lexus RX300 Exterior lighting Problems

“I purchased my vehicle (2000 Lexus rx 300) in 2004 with less than 35,000 and every year since 2007 I have had issues with lighting. I have had the park light, brake light, center stop lamp; center brake light socket and bulbs all replaced. The unfortunate issue is that the lights have to be replaced every year sometimes twice a year because they continue to malfunction. I always take my vehicle to the Lexus of orlando dealership for testing, service and repair but they obviously never completely fix this issue. …”
