perhaps those vehicles have less or no issues because they are a hell lot more expensive? The others are low-priced to mid priced vehicles that do have condesnation issues....
(low priced to mid priced in Lexus terms)

this is already being discussed in another thread.. im not sure (correct me if im wrong)... but lexus purposefully made the headlights have vents so that the heat generated from the HID's can leak out of the housing... the vents allow condensation to build up inside the headlight housing but the HID (once turned on) generates enough heat to dry up the condensation.
question is.. is it true that it's done on purpose or if it's a factory error that has yet to be fixed...?

and seriously, having condensation inside is a bad idea one way or the other, no matter if it's venting related or not. when dried, sometimes they leave water marks -- bad idea.
