Yup, John (USB IS-F) is having the exact same problem on both sides, and he's already replaced them once. It's definitely a manufacturing defect.

I just checked mine and fortunately, it doesn't have that on the headlights. Only problem with my 2011 IS so far is the driver's seat stitching.

How noticeable is this when your just looking at the car? Just curious.

Hopefully Lexus will replace them, definitely looks like a defect.

They don't? Are you talking about the ones that don't have the LED DRL strip?

All '11 models with HID's have the blacked out housings. I noticed the paint bubbling on a '11 loaner I had.
