Hello, I have a Lexus RX 350 2006 car, whose rear lights melted, in theory, type errors, rather than the bulb SMD LED light has been tried, but because of the small red reflector really warmed up and ruined. My question to dismantle the light to rip it out of melted red reflector tube? The hood can be taken off separately when the lamp is out there? Thanks!

My car seems to have the same problem. Is this something that can be fixed without changing the whole assembly to a new one? Seems to be a common problem with these cars. Bulbs seem to be too powerful. Is there LED aftermarket bulbs available?

has to be a defect or something as ive had my rx almost 4 years now and in intense summer heat too and mine hasnt melted.and this past summer we had temps nearing 120 several times and still no melting on mine.

Since the car is 13 year old, maybe the previous owner has already changed the tail lights once? I've had this car less than a year now and since it's a second car in the family I don't drive it too often. So every now and then I discover something new about this, like these melted lights. When I googeld this issue, I've found many similar forum topics regarding this matter. There are also topics refering this car having really bad reversing lights. In my opinion it's almost impossible to see anything when backing up in the dark, so I guess these things are related. Previous owners have probably replaced original bulbs to much more powerful ones in order to get more light behind the car. It shouldn't affect brake lights since they are not on all the time. But then again if the bulb is powerful enough and you happen to sit in the traffic jam a lot it might start melting this thing

anyways if someone has also noticed that it's difficult to see what is going on behind the car in the dark I've found this product:

I might give it a go and see if it gets any better. Feedback would be much appreciated If someone has similar a product installed and tested
