RobRX330 Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 We have a 2004 RX 330 and travel at night often. The headlights are extremely bright for 4-5 car lengths but beyond that visibility is nonexistent. We have had the car in for service twice at the Lexus dealership and requested that the lights be adjusted but have been told that the adjustment is maxed out (sounds more like they did not want to deal with us anymore). Does anyone else have this problem?
mehullica Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 There are updated headlamps to fix this problem. They added reflector to the projector to increase brightness. Email me for the part numbers. I need to know if you have the AFS or non-AFS style lights.

So I think they are not AFS.

sakaike Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 Does this part fix apply to the standard halogen lamps, or the HIDs, or both? If it applies to non-AFS HIDs, I would be interested in knowing more about this as well. Thanks.
mehullica Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 It applies no non-afs and afs lamps. The part # for updated NON-AFS headlamps are 81150-0E020 and 81110-0E020. I don't have the AFS #'s right now, I'll post them later. :chairshot:
Booyah Posted February 13, 2005 Posted February 13, 2005 I dont know why you didnt get it? Anyway I just want the part numbers for the AFS HIDS please! Is this a TSB, if so can I get the number to it! Also do I just go in and say Hey they have new Hids for the 330, can I get them??? Maybe I should start out saying I cant see that well-----
LexKid630 Posted February 15, 2005 Posted February 15, 2005 If you go to your dealer and say something like, "I can't see 5 cars infront of me at night when the headlights are turned on," they really can't do much. Thery can come back and say well i can, it's your eyes not the car. They'll probably give you another excuse like, "They are working as designed," the same excuse they gave me when the transmission blew out on my 99 rx, and i couldn't drive it 5 micrometers infront of me. It's a matter of opinion, and well you did buy the car, so they make you eat it. I hate the dealers they'll do anything to save a buck. I have the AFS xenon HID's and they work very well. If what you have now really isn't cutting it and may cause an accident, purchase HID bulbs (if you don't already have them now" or get the whole projector AFS system to replace the ones you have now.
jerryray Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Please post a TSB# or a lexus memo, I have the same problem when going upstate on those unlit country roads. TIA
SW03ES Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 LexKid: "HID Bulbs" he has HID headlights, what good would "HID bulbs" do him? This is a common complaint with HID headlights because they have such a sharp cutoff to keep from blinding oncoming drivers. You do get used to it.

Booyah Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I gots the HIDS for sure! I will not buy another vehicle without them.....Luv um!
SW03ES Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I dont think the 330s come without HIDs. Theres more to HIDs than bulbs anyways...
