The bubbling has nothing to do with parking in the sun all day. Its caused from the projector getting hot. I took a quick look at a barely used 2012 IS sitting on the Lexus lot here and it already had the issue right in front of the projectors, both sides. I bought used LED lights off of a 2013 and it has the bubbling too. But like others said it doesn't bother me. If someone didn't know what to look for they would never notice it.

The dealer replaced mine. If you do, make sure you check with your advisor to see if they have them in stock, otherwise you'll have to come back when they get them in order to do the work. I was told they need to remove the front bumper in order to replace them, so it sounds like a pain to do it yourself imo.

Correct, my 2012 IS250 had the bubbling within less than 10 months, the car is garaged and parked in covered parking, so the bubbling comes from the projectors.

I just got a 2011 IS350. Is the bubbling problem described earlier just in front the low beam? Both of my lights have some have some bumpy ridges just in front of the low beam on the bottom portion of the light housing.
