Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Moisture In Driver Side Headlight - Condensation

After detailing my car and prepping for winter I noticed moisture in the driver's side headlight. I know this is a common problem with many makes and models besides Lexus and I've done quite a bit of research to re-seal the light. I want to start with the basics first such as checking the vent tube for clogs. Need to point out that vent tube in a photo? I've looked all over and cannot seem to find this tube.

When I was detailing I was using a high-pressure washer. There was quite a bit of moisture and it dried within a few days. I was hoping it was from the high-pressure washer but now it came back. It seems to have come back just from using the headlight washer when I used my windshield washer.

I double checked the dust cap and o-ring seems to be fine. My next task is to remove the headlight assembly and reseal. I've read that some people have luck with just applying a bead along the seal without completely disassembling the lens and resealing (baking method). I'd rather not have to do the entire baking method although I know that can be more thorough.

Am I missing anything here in terms of other known causes? And would a clogged vent tube really cause this?

Subaru - Forester :: 2006 - Left Headlight Sometimes Doesn't Come When Turn On

You ever see the Bugs Bunny cartoon from WWII where the gremlin is sabotaging the aircraft? Well, the little bugger is working on my car, now!

The left front headlight -sometimes- does not come on when I turn on the headlights. I can easily make it come on by giving the lens cover a gentle "bop" with my fist; it's not even a hard rap, just a bump, really. Alternatively, if I drive with the light out and hit enough bumps in the road, it will eventually come on by itself.

On the contrary, if the light is functioning, it will NOT go out just from hitting bumps in the road. I've replaced the bulb, it's not that. I've checked the wires, they're free of corrosion. I've used dielectric grease on the connections, to no avail. I'm assuming there is a short or loose connection somewhere but I cannot find it.

Lexus ES 2007-12 :: Water On Carpet Of Driver Side All The Way To Backseat After Heavy Rain

In my 07 ES350 I had water on the carpet of the drives side all the way to the backseat! I was gone for a coupla days when this happened and with the heat it sure did have a musky odor when I opened the door!

I have looked all around the sunroof and cleaned the edges could not see anything that would leak although under the sunroof at the front there was water in the tray.

Then I looked all around the windshield. Could not see anything that could cause a leak. Lightly hosed off the car today and had water dripping down the driver side pillar and the covering for the pillar was wet.

This car has never had a leak anywhere until now. Gonna have to have the carpet removed and steam cleaned I guess to get rid of the odor, but not until I stop the leak!!!!

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: 2008 - A Pillar On Driver Side Leaking During Heavy Rain

The A pillar on the driver side started leaking during a heavy rain. The water leak started where there is a seam on the A pillar. My RX stays outside and I would not surprised if a vent tube or hole has clogged up and thus made the water back up instead of draining but that is just a guess.

Prius (2010-12) :: Condensation After Damp Nights Or Rain - Moisture In Headlight

I've had an issues with the drivers side light fogging up after damp nights or rain. The dealer replaced it under a TSB but it is still happening I've checked the 3 seals (low beam, high beam, small light on top) and replaced the high beam just to make sure. I'm about to replace the HID in hopes that moisture is getting in through it but for some reason I don't think so. The passenger side is fine and Yaris parked right next to it is fine also so I don't think this is "regular"condensation.

Subaru - Forester :: Driver Side Rear Wheel Bearings Replacement

Have a 2000 Forester with 114K. Had to replace driver's rear wheel bearing at 100k & again at 110k; when replacement bearing started to fail, ABS light came on because wheel was not spinning true! Replaced passenger's rear wheel bearing at 105k (this one is getting noisy now).

Hard to believe I got 2 "bum' bearings! Not a difficult repair, but this will be 4 bearings in less than 2 years. The car's driven on paved roads & with little load, so it's not from harsh road conditions or heavy loads.

Subaru - Forester :: 2012 - Rain Is Leaking

I purchased a 2012 Subaru Forester on May 15th, and now have a leak issue after heavy rains. I've brought the car into the dealer twice now (three times if you count having to bring it in the day after purchase to have a dial fixed) and they're saying they can't find or recreate the issue even after running a hose on it, and I'm extremely concerned and frustrated (honestly regretting buying the car at this point, though I do love it).

Both times I have noticed this happen, the car has been parked in torrential downpours either all day at work or overnight at home, and rain somehow seeps in and collects somewhere inside above the driver’s side, where it sits until I drive the car. It does not leak until the car moves - water does not leak to my knowledge when the car is parked.

Once the car moves from a parked position and I take a right turn, the water dumps out in about 1-3 occurrences onto my left foot (not a constant flow or predictable dump) – the water does not leak until the car is in motion and has turned right.

The dealer says they think the heat shield may be missing a grommet or something along those lines, but I don't know why they aren't able to check this to see if that's the case and fix it. They claim that they've only seen something like this once before, and it fixed itself (in other words, the person never came back after the first occurrence). It's happened to me twice now, and I know it's going to happen again, and I can't keep bringing it back over and over (and don't think I should have to).

Azera TG (2006-11) :: Condensation On Inside Of Head Lamp On Driver Side

I don't suppose there is any easy way to clean this. I was going to remove a black cover directly above the bulbs but there is a notice on the black cover right behind it warning of tampering with air bag sensor. I assume its not in the front cover but looking further it doesn't look like I will have any access to the area I want to clean by removing it. 68k on 07 azera. Too soon for this,no?

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Condensation In Passenger Side Headlight

Like the title says I have some pretty bad condensation in my passenger side headlight, i have the LED headlamps. I'm bringing the car in for its 6 month service next week so the problem should be fixed then. I'm interested to see what happened, You'd expect headlights that cost over a thousand dollars a piece not to be having problems like this after only 6 months.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 - Passenger Side High Beam And Driver Side Regular Headlight Went Out

My 2006 Prius (Model NHW20) has a strange headlight problem. On the passenger side, the high beam light is out but the regular headlight works.

On the driver side, the high beam is working but the regular headlight is out.

I don't think it's the fuses but I'm not sure. No amount of interchanging the following fuses changes anything about the issue:

1. 10A H-LP HI RH
2. 10A H-LP HI LH
3. 15A H-LP LO RH
4. 15A H-LP LO LH

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Condensation (water) In Passenger Side Headlight

My father recently bought a used 2014 IS250. After washing the vehicle there was a significant amount of condensation (water) in the passenger side headlight. After visiting the dealership for window tints the dealership denied to fix it warranty due to the fact that it was involved in a accident with the previous owner which is completely understandable. I recently bought a replacement new oem headlight to replace it. Would it be too difficult to install myself, is it just plug and play?
