Introduction
While some condensation in the headlamp is normal and should be expected , certain 2004 - 2009
RX vehicles may exhibit a condition where excess moisture forms on the interior of the headlamp
housing .

in dry weather conditions.
• Noticeable streaks of water that run down the interior of the headlamp lenses that do not clear
with normal use of the vehicle in dry weather conditions.

developed . Use the following repair information to replace the headlamp housing as necessary.

NOTE
• AFS (Adaptive Front Lighting System) refers to an automatic lamp orientation control system
that takes into account both steering angle and vehicle speed to orient the headlamps to an
angle that provides better nighttime visibility.
• HID (High Intensity Discharge) headlamp refers to a specific type of headlamp bulb that is
generally brighter than conventional headlamp bulbs.
• Certain vehicles equipped with HID AFS headlights have a distinct beam pattern or "cut line."
It is important that you order the correct part number for the specific production date of the
vehicle being repaired.
• Production date can be verified by inspecting the Manufacturing Label located on the driver's
side "B" pillar.
