“On the above date noticed headlight out and water in drivers side headlamp, replaced bulb headlamp dry out on its own. On 03/12/2013 brought my Lexus to dealership for recall on mat/acceleration problem. Service dept noticed headlight was out and it should be replaced, I advised them of the condensation in headlamp and they stated that to fix problem would cost about 2 thousand dollars I advised them that not to fix problem, and if they could notify Lexus corp about possible good will and they stated no, car is out of warranty.”

“Large amount of condensation with water droplets in driver side and passenger side headlight assemblies. Hid bulbs are out. Repair quotes are for $1684.00 per headlight assembly, with additional labor costs of $315.00. According to repair shop this is a common problem with Lexus rx 330 2006 models.”

“This is an ongoing problem with the Lexus rx models caused by moisture and condensation forming inside the headlight there has been a Lexus TSB regarding this however dealers apparently are free to decide if they rectified it or not. The computer module in the headlight is damaged by the condensation leading to a repair costing almost $3,000 the part alone being $1,900. Mine ultimately failed at about 54800 miles though it was reported to dealer as a condensation when the dealer chose to do nothing about. …”

“My left front headlight had condensation due to the manufacturer not sealing the light correctly, Lexus was aware of this problem and fixed the left one while it was still under warranty. Now my right one has rust inside of it which has blown out one bulb..I contacted Lexus corporate who agreed to pay half of the $1800.00 it cost to repair it. In addition to the front lights, now my rear lights actually have bugs inside of them which in turn will cause the bulbs to blow as well. …”
