Excess condensation in headlights (2005 RX330)
Just recently, I have a ton of condensation behind the headlight lens on the driver's side of the car.
It looks terrible and hasn't dissipated in over a month.
Is there a way to remove the lens and clean this out?
Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. The headlight housing was replaced under warranty. Just contact your dealership.

Believe it or not, my car is already out of warranty.

How many miles are on your RX?!?
At this point I would write Lexus USA. The headlight housing doesn't have much to do with how many miles you have driven.

there should be some plugs on the outside of headlight assembly, in the engine bay. You can take them out, and leave them out until condensation dissapears...

You mean to tell us that you already have more than 50k miles on the car...?? And this is a 2005 model... Hard to believe!
Basic Lexus Warranty = 4 years, 50k miles.

Actually, it's a 2004 and I've had it 2.5 years or so... 52K miles.
But I'm going to ask them to fix it anyway.
