Default light sensor wont go away!!!!!!!!!

so my light sensor goes on...
i check and learn that my left brake light is out.
take the housing out, and i change the bulb...
put it back together, check it... great all fixed. no sensor.

drive for a day... sensor goes back on.
now my left taillight is out.
this time i take both light housings out and replace all of the bulbs.
put it back together, check it... great! all is fixed.

drive for a day... sensor goes back on again.
this time my right blinker is out.
take out the housing and find that the bulb has shattered.
replace that... put it back together.. check it. Great! all is fine.

drive for a day... sensor goes back on... WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this time all the lights are fine...
although my lisence plate lights are out. i know i know... why didn't i change that... i will, but the funny thing is those lights have never worked since i got the car 3 months ago! so i didn't think that they were connected to any of the sensors. am i wrong?

congrats! welcome to the lexus family!

lol


you have my luck when it comes to bulbs!

seriously though ive heard that there is a wire harness or voltage regulator in the electrical system that can go bad in certain cars and the bulb problem is the symptom.
