I have new shape GS300 2005. Recently I have noticed that the nearside head-light does not always come on with the offside headlight. If I flick lights off and back on the near side comes on! I am referring to the Xenon normal beam not full beam.

Yesterday I was driving at night and realised neither of the headlights were on. Only after turning off and on several times did both come on.

Of course today I have just tested lights in the drive and both come on perfectly.

Are the bulbs failing? Could there be any other explanation?

I have taken off the engine covers and cannot see how to get to the xenon bulbs. Are they something that only Lexus can replace????

Thanks

Yes... I also have the same problem... the drivers side headlamp (lower xenon) is randomly going on and off... i am taking it to the dealers to get it looked at... also i have a lost my dipping of reverse wing mirrors!! again it is randomly on and off. The biggest problem is the stratching noises my brakes make and steering makes at low speed. Hope all these problems get sorted out!!
