Default DRL fog in side the lens

I have a 2014 F sport and I now have fog inside both DRL lenses (the Nike swoosh looking lens). Anyone else seeing this? 30,000 miles and garaged kept car. Always kept well taken care or. Even though under warranty still, dealer says not covered.

I would say, talk to Lexus Corporate about it to assist to see if they can get this covered for you.

Some sort of leak I would think. The heat of the light against the cold weather

I'd respectfully state my case to this dealer's service management as an obvious case of defective workmanship on the part - as it has clearly failed (subject to above caveats).

If no joy there, try another dealer and if still no joy, take it to Lexus Corporate. Good luck.
I would think "water contamination" would be related to engine fluids. The dealer should cover this without question (assuming no foul play from the OP), especially since there is the headlight condensation issue that some owners have had. It's surprising to me that this occurred in both DRL's.
I would call another dealer and see what they say. If I got the same answer, I would call corporate.

Not surprised by the dealers response. Lexus CS sucks in my experience. Dealers all have excuses not to help and Lexus corporate just says they can't make the dealers do anything.
