Lexus ES headlights problems

Filed Jan 20, 2025 · CT

Both headlights turn off randomly and sometimes at the same time. Sometimes the brightness lowers. I have had both ballasts and bulbs changed and the problem persists. In my research, it appears that many 2007 Lexus ES 350 owners have had and still have this very dangerous problem. This problem has been ongoing for well over a year. The reason is UNKNOWN by me.

I bought a 2019 Lexus ES350 F Sport in October 2023 with 41,000 miles. Almost a year later to the day I went to a touchless car wash and now have excessive condensation in both headlights. Lexus shows these lights at $2500 a piece, plus labor to install. With modest investigating for a remedy I see I’m not alone in this predicament. Due to high cost of replacement I believe this warrants looking into whether it should be a recall or at least a safety bulletin as moisture in an electric environment will quickly become a major issue.

I am not writing about my car. I am writing about many other cars coming toward me at night with VERY BRIGHT headlights. There ought to be a law against multiple headlights, very bright headlights, headlights that shine directly into the eyes of oncoming vehicles. What is being done about this? I would like a reply to my concern. I live on an island with one two lane road north to south. There is no way to avoid oncoming traffic.

The issue that I am having with my 2007 lexus es 350 is while im in motion on a highway or street both of my headlights will shut off. I have to manually turn the headlight switch off then on again and thats when they will come back on, it happens several times while driving. Sometimes the left headlight will turn off and the right stays on and vice versa for the right or both. I contacted the dealership and they said I needed the headlamp replaced but once I did some research on this issue with the make and model of my vehicle I realized there are numerous of individuals having the same dangerous issue with having the headlamps replace the issue still remains the headlamps shut off completely inhibiting the view of the highway at night. This is very dangerous. I have been pulled over by the police because of this. Ive replaced headlights several times and it still happens every single time I drive!!!

The headlight assembly degrades thereby causing the lights to appear extremely dim when driving at night.

The lexus es 350, was turning left onto side street within a sub division, and ran up the curb and hit a tree with the right front side of the vehicle. Significant damage done to the car, and so much damaged that the car has been totaled by insurance company. Driver unsure if vehicle accelerated on its own or just lost control. The greater issue or concern was not what caused the accident, but that the air bags did not deploy after the impact and the driver broke their nose and has been treated 3 times in er since crash. In speaking with repair shop, they informed me that there are 2 air bag sensors at the front of the car, and both are near the headlights. He was surprised that given the damage and impact of the collision (to right front of car by headlight, pictures attached), that the air bags did not deploy.

Both headlights go out by themselves while driving. It has happened four times. The dash indicator light shows the headlights are on. Manually turning the headlights off and on gets them on again. Very frightening and unsafe to all of a sudden have no headlights. I have appointment with lexus to fix, but should be a recall safety item.
