Certified 2005 Lexus rx 330 has headlight condensation one week after I brought it home. Notified the dealer and they told me that its not covered under the certified warranty. I have the hid headlights that turn with you around corners, which will cost $1800 to replace! from what the dealer told me, they used to honor this defect but there were too many and it got too costly for them! a certified Lexus should not have defective headlights.

I have a 2005 Lexus RX330 in which when raining, headlight condensation occurs. I'm sure as the condensation worsens, the clear lens will start to yellow impairing visibility and ultimately hid lamp failure. Whenever it rains or I get a car wash it is most obvious and annoying. Lexus of bay ridge replaced only 1 light and now the other one is having the same problem.
