Hey guys i have a 05 lexus rx330, i bought it in december 2014. And the dealership replace the left headlight assembly because the headlight was foggy and watery and it wasnt turning on.

HID or halogen? If it's HID, then your ballast likely got damaged over time due to the condensation/moisture. Unfortunately, the ballast is located at the bottom of the headlight housing, where the moisture and water collects.

Correct, if AFS, then the headlights are HID. You might want to contact your local service department and/or bring it in to have them diagnose the flickering.
