Condensation in the front drivers headlight made may light go out when traveling on highway. Completely unable to see, because of "leveling" lights. I was able to avoid an accident by using my bright lights. I took to the dealer service and was told this is a common problem and that the lexus rx is already being recalled, but not my vehicle. . This is a costly repair over 1000.

I also have a headlight that has intermittently not worked. I run my lights on the auto feature. In the last 6 months, I have noted that the left headlight only turns on some of the time. I need to check it, turn the lights off, then back on to get it to work. Happens about 20% of the time and is a safety issue. About 3 years ago, someone followed me into a store and told me that my left headlight was out. When I left and turned the car on, then checked the headlights, they were working. I now realize that this is when it started.

I have a problem with a head light going out intermittently, and occasionally both bulbs and what appears to be the back bulbs too go out leaving my car completely dark, interior lights are sometimes included. A quick off/on of the light switch and the lights are back to normal. I will intermittently turn my lights off then back on so I can control the darkness. I love my lexus, but feel very unsafe in it, as the lights could go dark and I can't respond quick enough or oncoming traffic will not see me around a curve. I took the car in a couple of years ago to my lexus dealer, tom williams, and they told me the car battery was weak and causing the problem, shortly thereafter I did replace the battery, but that did not solve the problem. When I bring it to lexus, they only test it during the day. Still don't know what the problem is. I recently had the car in for the fuel system recall and they rechecked and said again they could not reproduce the problem, I felt like they were telling me I was lying. The most recent incident occurred with 102,000 miles on it, but it has been happening for several years since about 60,000 miles

Low beam xenon headlight on drivers side intermittently shuts off. At times both low beam headlights flicker and shut off completely causing no vision at night. When the lights are switched off then back on they work once again but usually for a few minutes only. Also, there's always a strong gasoline smell in the car, while sitting still. Once the car is in motion, the smell seems to go away.

I noticed the next day after I purchase the vehicle, that the right headlight was out but the rest were on. I called the dealer and told them about the problem and they told me to bring it in. The next day the lights were on so I didn't take it back. Since then, it happens every time I turn the lights on in the evening. I bought the car without an extended warranty, so I didn't take it back. Since then I have purchased an extended warranty through an outside company, but since I have seen this same problem on several cars similar to mine, I decided to report it before I decided to pay a deductible out of pocket. It's not just the right headlight, sometimes it's the right, sometimes it's both and the fog lights just stay on.

Lexus gs350 in general is pretty a good car but I always having problem with lexus dealer( westside lexus in houston tx). Whenever I bring my concerns or show them the problems, they will pretend or refuse to fix until they see the problem by themselves. First was my backup camera flickering and now my passenger low beam is acting up and it's a intermittent problem. Some time it goes dim and completely turns off by itself and I will need to turn off and on the switch for it to work. I even got a chance to take pictures and record video clip to show them but they denied and kept saying that they need it to happens in there dealer before they can fix it. This is ridiculous and very dangerous while driving at night time.

From the time the 2008 lexus gs, labor day 2008, was obtained I had problems seeing at night on a dark road, highway or interstate. Unless the brights are on there is a black wall in front of the area where the light beams stop. I overdrive the lighted area and drive into the black night. The brights need to be on to see-which is a danger and annoyance to oncoming traffic. I have tried to get this fixed since october 2008. The latest date being january 2011. Lexus tells me that the headlights are adjusted as high as they can go. I asked for them to change the bulbs from halogen to incandescent or to replace the entire unit. Lexus says they can't do that. This is a very, very dangerous situation with this car.
