Search for headlight condensation in the RX forum to see what other owners have gone through and what fixes where available to them. Dealerships are getting much stingier now days when it comes to head light replacements because they are replacing so many of them. Before it used to be a problem and they would change them out under warranty for new ones. No, many are claiming it is normal and refusing to change them out. Also, do the same headlight condensation on all the other model forums and see basically the same thing.

This defect is covered by a TSB.

I had signs of condensation in mine and the dealer replaced them both without question. The service writer said they had problems on both the RX and the SC with condensation caused by the lamp assemblies not being completely sealed. Trust me, you don't want to do this out of warranty - those headlights are EXPENSIVE.

if you had your headlights replaced because of an accident are they still covered? all parts were ordered through the Lexus Dealer.

Also if you had it for a few weeks now and its been in some rain storms, car washes, and puddles and no condensation does that mean your in the clear?
