Headlights Not Turning Off

[deano77]

Hi all only just got my lexus is200 sport and I've already encounted a few problems when I turn on my headlights I can't turn them off from inside the car,but instead I'm having to pop the bonnet and pull out the fuse/relay for the headlights.can anyone help solve this problem is it the sensor on the dash or something with the fuse box itself.

I live in west Yorkshire so if anyone knows of anyone who can help or a recommended garage that would be great.don't wanna use lexus main dealers has ££££££ so can anyone shed any light on this.thanks all

This has happened to a lot of people on here who have had windscreens replaced - it's caused by them not being sealed 100% properly and water getting in to one of the fuseboxes. There are 4 on the IS, check them all for any water ingress to rule that out first... Think it's the one in the driver or passenger footwell that usually causes this but I can't quite remember...

Hi thanks for reply how would I go about solving this also where are the 4 fuse boxes I've seen one in the drivers footwell and the one under the bonnet.thanks

If you get down beside an open door and look in you'll see the panels in the footwell trim where the fuse boxes are - you may have to undo a screw to get into them though, you're looking for a small square "door"...

As to drying them out... erm with a hairdryer? dunno tbh, but I know this has been covered on the forum in a few cases. Chuck "lights won't go off" into the search function and see what turns up :)
