Default Still covered under warranty?

Ive been having condensation in my drivers headlight for awhile. I've put in LED turn signals and I know for a fact there in properly. No holes/cracks, with a "after market" part being installed, would Lexus replace it still?

Just change it back to factory oem part and bring it to the dealership. They should cover it.

There's a service bulletin for headlight condensation due to a cracked headlight housing upper mounting tab.

The new headlights have a modified mounting tab to correct future breaking.

Is it still valid? Or was it for a window frame?

Does it cover both headlights? Or just the drivers

It covers both headlights so long as both headlights exhibit moisture inside them at the time of being at the dealership. This is the service bulletin L-SB-0002-15, Depending on the dealership I would advise you put back the OE leds.
