Hi,
Seems headlamp moisture has been an ongoing problem in the RX series. I have this issue in the left headlight on a '07 RX 350 which is unfortunately out of warranty as it has 60k+ miles on it. Has anyone been successful in getting this fixed by Lexus with the vehicle out of warranty?

Thanks in advance!

Check on my DIY post for the leak repair on the headlamp condensation. So sad that the 07 still had issues. Thought it was killed after 05.

Hi Mandy,
I was struggling initially (hard to believe I could miss the 'search' menu for so long) but just now found your previous post - awesomely detailed - thank you!

Before you take the headlamp apart I suggest that you try to seal the top of the headlamp, that's the source of the leak in my case. It will save you tons of time and aggravation.

There is a class action lawsuit regarding the defective Lexus Headlamps and Moisture. Check it out!

Thanks to "ticdoc" for this information. I don't have this headlight moisture problem, but fellow RX friends mine do. I have bookmarked this. Toyota needs to acknowledge this problem and fix it.

Somebody should do their homework before posting pictures on a website. They're showing a 2010+ 450h. Duh! I had condensation in both headlights of my '04. The dealer replaced them under warranty without batting an eye. Wish it was easier for everyone else.

I was declined repair on my condensation problem, just 1.5 months after my warranty expired. Sure sucked. I might sign my name on that petition.

one of the guys who had an audi with same problem told me to put a small drop of antifreeze somehow into your assembly and it should get rid of the water..had this on my toyota and it worked..

mandyfig

Anti-freeze, wow that's new. Is that supposed to melt the seal and re-seal it?

After perusing the class action filing I'd recommend that anyone with a 2004-2007 RX monitor this lawsuit. It is possible that even if Lexus has replaced your headlight(s) for free the issue may recur. Additionally, anyone who's done a DIY fix may still have water damage such as rusting of the ballast.

The filing alleges that the fix for this issue may only delay the recurrence of the problem. With replacement (parts & labor) running in the region of $2,000 per headlight it would be nice if Lexus would stand behind it's product!

no just suppose to get rid of the moisture
