Headlight Problem
I noticed on my 01 IS300 when I was washing my car that my headlights looks to have some kind of haziness to the inside of the lights. Has anyone else has this problem with theirs?? I don't think the dealer will cover anything since I have 51k on the car. 
well it's worth a try, sometimes if the dealership is good they do it under good will.
i think probably some moisture or so got it before, after drying it starts to get blur

Condensation problems are becoming more and more common on '01 IS300s. Since you are over 50K miles Lexus dosen't have to replace the lights. Its worth a shot to try though, if you need new ones I can get them wholesale for you with my Lexus account.

How much are we talking about??? With all of the problems I'm having with my 06GS with the tint, and the clear bra fiasco, I don't think they want to do anything for me in good faith.

it's always good to try the easy way then the hard.
