Default The Headlamp Control System light on ?

My Headlamp Control System light comes on when the car seems to get wet.
When its raining or the roads are wet from snow?
It goes off after restart and all is dry?

Can this be the rear sensor on the sway bar I belive?

Mine works intermittently also. I works when it gets cold or wet(yes) in the summer months it doesn’t work at all. I took it the Lexus the told me the sensor in the back is corroded and needed to be changed to the tune of $430. I have been meaning to buy it or take a look at the one on there now. The problem started occurring in summer last yr. I just purchased the repair service manual to help me put on my passenger mirror. Therefore that sensor will fixed/repaired as soon as it gets warm.

Thanks, yes mine works in the opposite, does not work when its wet.

It first happened I think when I put my Jetski in the water and the rear of the car was pretty far in the water. I guess it is the sensor.
there most be a place to get the part besides the local Lexus dealer>
Do you know the real name for the sensor? maybe can do a search for one online?
