Today I have noticed something strange. I did the following after starting my car:

1) Turned on the headlights
2) Turned on the fog lights
3) Turned off the fog lights
4) Turned off the headlights

My problem is that the headlights stay on... I have to either open and close the front door or turn off the car. Is this normal?

 

I need to add that my car is IS250AWD...

 

Yes sir I believe it is. Might have something to do with the auto sensing headlights/safety feature. I'm wrong the wrong person to chime in since I don't own a Lexus.

 

when you turn the switch down to off (which keeps only the drls on) or the parking lights/drl setting the headlights dont shut off?

 

When I turn on the headlights only, I can turn them off without any problems (the switch in off position) .
However, this problem occurs after turning on and off the fog lights - the headlights are still on even though the switch is in the off position...

 

thats strange, i'll have to see if mine does it tomorrow

 

It seems to me that this problem does not always occur. However, I would be glad if someone could perform a simple test (after starting your car) and let me know your results.

1) Turn on the headlights - the switch in position =D
2) Turn on the fog lights
3) Turn off the fog lights
4) Turn off the headlights - the switch in position off
5) See if the headlights are still on

and

1) Turn on the headlights - the switch in position =D
2) Turn on the fog lights
3) Turn off the headlights - the switch in position off
4) See if the headlights are still on


Many thanks!
