If you've got documentation from the dealer that you complained of this while your car was still under warranty, I strongly recommend calling Lexus @ 800-448-1505. IF (and I don't know the answer to that, but the TSB makes me think it will be covered) it is indeed a coverable item, the Lexus customer service rep let you know by giving you a claim / reference number for the work to be done and then the dealer can get stuffed.

My dealer is lazy. I had to go this route on a separate item this fall...

Good luck!

I just noticed condensation on my passenger side headlight.

This isn't cool, espcially with all the rain we get here on the west coast.

JoelGs, how much did you dealer say it is to replace it?
