Problem overview

Some Lexus GS300 owners report experiencing intermittent headlight issues while driving, which can pose a safety risk for both the driver and other road users. They have noted instances where both the driver side and passenger side headlights turn off unexpectedly, leading to complete blackouts that compromise visibility. Additionally, some drivers have reported flickering or strobing of HID headlights, suggesting potential problems with the ballast or a failing bulb. In certain situations, the headlights may only turn off after opening and closing the driver's door, or they may remain on if any door or the trunk is open. It is crucial for owners facing these issues to have their vehicles inspected by a qualified mechanic to ensure safe driving conditions and prevent accidents due to reduced visibility.
