It funny that this morning I took a look at the rear of the connector and nothing is loosing everything is tight.
But, the headlight is ON normal like it never happen this morning; unlike last night flicking ON & OFF and then OFF then Flicking ON & OFF again. I don't know if the water can get in because I wash my RX350 on Thursday.
In June I have a shop replacing OEM Stock Bulb 3200K to same manufacture Phillips 5000K Bulbs everything working fine until last night it bizzare flicking. Again, I took a look this morning everything Seal Tight no connector lose what so ever. I will take it back either to the Dealer or local shop who replacing my Bulb.
I don't know if it the ballast begining to fail or the Bulb. Even my neighbor doesn't think it was the Bulb, because both of us looking at it, it was identical Phillip Bulb. OEM Mark with #32 and the new one Mark with #50.
Will see keep you post later this afternoon.

Im going to bet its the bulb~
But I bet Lexus will replace the ballest anyway, cause they have no way of checking the bulb and the only thing that has changed is you Replacing That bulb and now the problems start......So Im thinking Bulb
I have not heard of anybodys ballest failing ever---but Im sure they do

Densos are excellent ballasts,but if you soak any electrical device in water they usually fail. They're mounted in basically the lowest areas of the headlight housings,any moisture buildup will usually end up pooling in there.

And now one headlight is flickering a few months after you installed the bulbs? You probably compromised the seal after doing the bulb swap,some moisture got in the headlight,which then collected in the ballast.
I don't think there's any question about Lexus quality,you tampering with the headlights may have had something to do with the ballast failure.
