Melting headlight covers?
Melting headlight covers? (pics added)
it's hard to understand what u're talking about? are you refering to the headlight it self or the cover inside the engine bay that covers the bulbs? i just recently changed out my city lights and now i have moisture inside my headlight.

In the Texas sun and heat, your evolving headlight problem will only become worse and will subsequently need to be replaced under bumper to bumper. I would wait a bit before a dealer trip to ensure the damage is visible in any lighting.

So you mean it's normal that sun heat will melt the headlight? Since I see the same symptoms in both headlights, so I think I am not the unique lucky one.
This is surprising for me since from my understanding, I assume, Lexus quality should easily handle sun heat. Compared with Arizona, Texas sun heat is not a big deal
Sunlight may cloud it after a couple of years, but should not melt it, in just 2 months, right?

Are you referring, to the slight haze thats inside of the headlight? I have looked at every IS, and they all have this issue....
if thats what your talking about.

The photo doesn't justify how bad the situation is. Actually now it is quite noticeable, which indicates it is developing rapidly...
I rarely drove the IS so most of the time it was parked in my garage, the total time it was exposed to the sun is only FOUR days!
So what will happen if I don't have a garage? or if I drive it everyday?

Wait until is becomes worse. If the hazing progresses, looks like a warranty issue so no worries.
, when you look at it in person you can tell.
