Hllo guys,

I got a 2005 RX330, It was a certified car and I also bought extended warrenty til 2016.

I was wondering would the water into the headlight can be covered in the warrenty?

Thanks

First off welcome to ClubLexus!

If you are familiar with these kinds of forums, search would be your friend. There are tons of posts about water into our head lamps.

Good luck with your RX.

You should ask the warranty holder. Was it issued through Lexus?

Hi,
I just purchased a 2008 RX and found the moisture in the headlight. Was doing some research on DIY and found that there are USA made and Japan made lights. Is there a difference.
Thanks,

There are three types of headlights in the 2008 RX350. Halogen, HID, and HID w/AFS. For whichever system you have the headlights are all the same for that type. No differences in where the vehicle was manufactured.

FWIW, the RX is not produced in the US. Only Canada (NA) and Japan.

Bought a non-CPO 08 RX350 in July 2013 with 79K miles on it and not a single issue so far except condensation in the headlights after rain. After a couple of week all condensation evaporated.
Anyway, receive the letter from Lexus and they may replace the headlights this year?
