Skyler from Austin Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 My 2006 Rx330's headlights look positively gross and the driver's bulb has burned out, probably because of the water inside. I'd like to replace them. (Someday manufacturers will use glass that won't age so gracelessly, but that's a dream for now). My car has HID with the AFS. I notice that I can buy replacements without AFS pretty cheap, but if it has AFS then it gets really expensive. I don't really care about the AFS. Is it easy to convert to without AFS?

T Malone Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 If your Lexus is around the 2004 year you should have received an extended warranty notice from Lexus. This notice would replace those leaky headlamps ask your local dealer. They need to see the leaky or fogged lamps -take photos and then they will replace them, minimal charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyler from Austin Posted December 24, 2016 Author Share Posted December 24, 2016 My understanding is that the extended headlight warranty expired in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyler from Austin Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 I ended up replacing the ballast for $100 and did the labor myself. The ballast was severely corroded. Works fine. I'm sure the water leak is still there and the ballast will go bad again, but I can afford to replace the ballast another 13 times and still come out ahead of replacing the whole unit. And then some.
