Well...feel free to delete this post. I figured it out. It wasn't the headlights at all. I went out and turned it on again in the dark, and I noticed the tail lights looked odd. Come to find out that the previous owner had put one filament bulbs where the two filament brake lights should have been. I had the correct bulbs sitting around, and the dash light is out. Problem solved. On to the next thing. Thanks!

Hello. I am new to the forum. We just purchased a 2005 Lexus ES330 to serve as a 3rd car (son's first car). The car is in great shape overall with just 123,000 miles. It was a local car that has a great service record. The past two days, I have been working though the car to learn more about it, and I have a replace bulb light on the dash. The previous owner put some aftermarket headlights on with led halos that look pretty good, and I have a feeling these are tripping the light even though they have normal halogen blubs as the main lights. The light for the auto leveling system was on, and I saw on the forum to disconnect the module for that. That took care of that problem. All other bulbs are working as far as I can tell. The warning light only comes on when the headlights are on when it is dark. It is not on when the DRLs are on. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these aftermarket headlights and if they need a resistor or something to get the light off on the dash? After that, I get to use the forum and videos to try to tackle a cracked up power steering hose. Thanks for your help. I look forward to learning more about this great car!
