i cant really understand what you are trying to stay. first of all please dont type in caps since it means screaming and second please be more specific about the problem you have since its really hard to understand the sequence of your actions

Sounds like your headlight switch is bad. I would try locating one at a local salvage lot. Or call your Lexus dealer. They should not cost more than $100 or so. Perhaps more. Parts for these cars can be very expensive.

It sounds like a wiring problem, as if you didn't connect the right wire to the right circuit or your high beam wire is loose. I would suggest getting a wiring harness diagram from lexus; you might have to pay for it. Otherwise, you could try getting a new harness, from a salvage yard, or one of the aftermarket retailers or tunershops.

it is more than liekly the headlight switch

since it can cut the fog lights off when the high beams are turned on i would say it is miss aligned

rather than buying a new peice i would try and clean or adjust it to make the contacts again

it may have been a bad arc removing some of the contact and the carbon finally wearing away
