Save water... drink alcohol!!.

I am going to take it to a car wash to see if I can replicate the issue, hopefully it will and I will get my HL replaced before the deadline October 31, 2015.

 

That struck a nerve... I have a 1997 Saturn SC1 that has never had a single problem, it always starts no matter if its 100 degrees or 10 below and the headlights are crystal clear. Amazing since the car only cost just a little over $12K new.

 

This one guy told me the back of the lexus headlight is not well sealed. Claims it is very easy to use a medical syringe to add water, if necessary. He claims this is best as its easy to keep water away from the bulbs.

On a totally separate topic, I love my new head lights. Makes the vehicle look brand new.

The headlight style we use creates a ton of heat and is extremely bright. Much brighter than the , but susceptible to water getting in due to it needing good ventilation.

 

Hi Robbyk,

Which dealership did you take your car to in CA? My drive side headlight fogged up after this last rain. I. May need to do he syringe trick to get them both warrantied

 

I went to Keyes Lexus in VN.

 

So is the program now expired? I just bought a used 2007 and noticed the moisture after the dealer performed the detailing when I picked it up?

 

The warranty is good for 9 years. Mine was rejected as being outside this window period. You're covered.

 

Noticed problem after two days of rain in Florida. I went to Lexus of Clearwater(FL.) and they took care of it on the spot--no drama, no b.s, no "Come back later..."
I was two months from end of nine year/any mileage secondary warranty.
Thanks formall the posts and info here!

 

So the warranty is up? cus my passenger headlight is still condensed

 

No. Secondary warranty: No mileage limit & UP TO NINE YEARS FROM DATE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED.

In my case, 65,000 miles/Purchased April 2, 2007

 

When my (bought used in 2010) 2004 RX330 developed moisture in both headlight assemblies, I dried and sealed them in 2011 with silicone using mandyfig's great write up, but the moisture eventually came back. In 2014, I got ZLB letter from Lexus that described both primary and secondary coverage periods for this issue. In December 2014, moisture occurred in my drivers side headlight, so a local dealership replaced it. But, the passenger side was dry, so it didn't warrant the repair. But 15 months later (and thanks to El Nino), moisture appeared in the passenger side headlight assembly. I brought it in to a local Lexus dealer who replaced it no questions asked.

Kudos to Lexus for supporting a 12 year old product.

 

I have an 2004 RX330 with 96K miles. I purchased 5 years ago so according to what I've read I should be covered? I did not receive any notifications from Lexus. What do I do? These are non HID lights.

 

Secondary warranty: Any mileage/UP to ten years after dare of ORIGINAL, first purchase from dealer; not when you bought it used...

 

Oops! Sorry. Secondary warranty is good for NINE years from date of original purchase from dealer with no mileage limitation--not from date vehicle was purchased used. In other words, time is running out for 2007 RXs...
Critical date is day the car was purchased from dealer--has to be nine years from the date of purchase, or less.

 

Thank you. I thought it was 7 years. If it is 9 years then I have a little more time.
