I am happy to have anyone come look at my vehicle for inspection. My passenger headlight daytime running light LEDs have changed color and are failing in this sealed unit. I have spoken with a service technician at a body shop, and had my insurance company inspect my headlight as they all believe it is faulty. The daytime running element is a completely off-white yellowed color, while it should only be cool white LED color. This completely varied color impacts the performance and visibility of my vehicle. This different color and fading output is impacting my vehicle's visibility while on the road, and makes me less visible to other vehicle and pedestrian traffic on any and all roadways. This very problem was reported to a service and body shop repair location, and was inspected by a Lexus dealership at the request of Lexus Brand Engagement for the dealer service to inspect and report on their findings. The dealer determined the headlight would need to be replaced to repair the failing daytime running element. There have been zero warning lamps or messages about this failing headlight component, and this began to appear after the headlight on the driver's side of the vehicle was replaced because of a completely separate accident and subsequent repair. The discoloration and faded output of the daytime running element was the issue with both of these headlights, only noticed when the driver side headlight unit was completely replaced, indicating this error on the passenger side. A service technician told me directly this could be the start of a recall. I have looked online and many other NX and other Toyota-Lexus drivers are experiencing early-onset failure of these headlight components. There was mention of these components overheating and failing. My vehicle is only four years old, and Lexus Brand Engagement has refused to follow up about this failing component. This is not normal for these components to be failing at such an early point of lifetime use.
