I have tried turning on both the high/low(HID) beam
lights and leaving the back cover open. The moisture came back a couple of days later. Is it possible that
there's a leak somewhere in the housing? (this is only
on the passenger side)

Any suggestions for removing the moisture appreciated!

Question What type of Lexus???

Check out the thread "Damnnnnnnnn" on the SC forum... )I'm sure this would be relevant for other models...) for procedures of getting into a headlight and cleaning....

Maybe this will help out...

All four of my headlampls leaked moisture on my '99 GS400. The dealer replaced them all under warranty.

An excellent job - really first class work! Who is responsible for it?? Anybody know? I e-mailed the author with my compliments. A valuable contribution to SC owners. Wish the Lexus manuals were as complete!
