Default Headlight assembly install

My father recently bought a used 2014 IS250. After washing the vehicle there was a significant amount of condensation (water) in the passenger side headlight. After visiting the dealership for window tints the dealership denied to fix it warranty due to the fact that it was involved in a accident with the previous owner which is completely understandable. I recently bought a replacement new oem headlight to replace it. Does anyone know if it would be too difficult to install myself, is it just plug and play? If not how much do you think Lexus would charge to replace it? Thanks in advance.

There's actually a TSB for the headlight condensation issue.

Wow, good to know. I would have never known about this. I will take this to the dealer today since I have to pick up the car for a second time because the $320 window tints that were done the first time looked horrendous and FULL of air pockets everywhere and had to be redone. If they still do not honor the Warranty I will try another dealership I guess. Thanks for all the useful information I really appreciate it!

Went today to pick up the car showed the service manager the tsb you linked me to and THANK YOU SO MUCH, they told me that the headlight looked like it had no damages and I will have the car back tomorrow with my new $1600 headlight replaced for free under warranty. Can't thank you enough. You are a lifesaver!
