Welcome to CL! I don't know the answer but you've come to the right place - someone on the forum will.

is the car under warranty still? if so I would start by having the dealer replace them. I had a similar problem with another Lexus car but it was the aftermarket bulbs I was having issues with on the driver side. Its possible the previous owner changed them out and that's the problem. If not that sounds like an electrical issue being that both the HID and DRL are going out?

unless they are loose for any reason?? maybe just check to make sure they have a good connection before going to the dealer.

maybe someone else has another idea or has had this problem.

Sounds like a bad ballast. The DRL switches off when he turns on the low beams just like normal except the HID goes out after a couple of min. The DRL won't come back on because he still has his headlights on.
