Passenger side headlamp collecting moisture - light is still functioning (for now). Anyone successfully dry it out and reseal?

 

how bad is it. pics? just one light or both?
ive done several headlight reseals, retrofits, etc. its a bit of a chore, but not that hard. could you just get a used headlight?

 

I don't know exactly which model of the headlights you have but for some models you can purchase the glass and the seal and replace them.

 

he has triple beam i believe. mike doesn't like them much.

 

Yeah triple beams passenger side only. Appears to be a fairly common issue sadly.

 

G'Day. Is it wrong to assume that without signs of impact this problem should be covered by Lexus Bumper to bumper warranty?

 

My ES is SEVEN years old with nearly 90Kmiles

 

Live with it. I'm guessing the moisture isnt that noticeable and just aesthetics.

But if it bugs you, replace used from ebay.

if the cost is too high, and you're brave, attempt a fix. but i doubt you'll want to waste your time with that. i'm guessing replacing requires removal of the front bumper. its about 1k for used one without damage

 

If it is made in Japan then you can get the glass and the seal.

 

Pretty sure my ES was built in Kentucky.

 

If 2019 there’s a big chance that was made in Japan.

 

I don't mind living with it it at all - just worried about the electronics.

 

i think you'll be fine. i mean if you wait til the electronics blow which is just a controller module which itself should be sealed, then you'd simply have delayed the replacement cost and it'll be cheaper then -- vs replacing it now.

 

I am thrilled to hear that. I will let it be! Thx for the info.

 

Did anyone reflect on the fact that the triple beam headlamps are >$2000 each?
