Took to apparently the highest volume dealership and said it’s not an electrical problem with the headlight so Lexus is not going to replace the whole headlight $2100 for that molding issue.

So now we have Driver's door handles and headlights. The lights being a couple thou each.

Guess I wasn't so stupid for getting the 10/100 Factory extended warranty after all.​ Just 1 headlight is 2/3 the warranty cost.

Excerpt from Lexus UK article dated April 2016. This is all could find regarding a presentation
I went to when the LC was unveiled to Dealers and the discussion regarding the headlights
being an enormous challenge. The extremely slim space between the inner fender well and the
body line left almost no room for the heat dispersal required by the headlights.
