2 questions for you guys
I talked to Lexus again today about my headlights being fogged up/condenstation. They said it was caused by installing aftermarket light bulbs for the DRL and high beams. Is this true or anyone ran into it or had went back to stock and seen a differnce? Lexus said that if I replace my hyperwhites for the OEM's it would solve the problem. Also, I was reading a forum on here about how to resolve the condenstation problem and that was to take off the dust cover on the headlight assembly to equalize the temp in the housing to the enviroment. True? I have HID's BTW. Last question promised, do anyone know where I can get aftermarket HID headlights (not the ebay ones) with black housing? Thanks guys...

It is a load of crap. Over time the seal wears out and the condinsation infiltrates the housing. I got mine covered under warranty, but one of the other guys had to pay $900 to replace both housings. If it were the bulbs then everyone would have that problem.

Yea I would have figured that the dealer was trying to get me to spend all my money there. I already riped my housing apart and painted it black (looks nice besides the condenstation) when I resealed it I used the orginal sealent and than went around it with silicone. Well today I will take a heat gun to it and clear it up and will try cleaning the little rubber U shape on the housing; and take off my dust cover...I will keep you guys updated...I live in WA so we'll see if this works...
