2004 LEXUS RX330 Exterior Lightingheadlights Problems

CONSUMER HAS 3 MAJOR COMPLAINTS ON THE 2004 LEXUS RX 330: SUN GLARE FROM THE DASHBOARD OBSTRUCTING VISIBILITY. THE HIGH INTENSITY LIGHTS DO NOT ILLUMINATE ENOUGH DOWN THE ROAD FOR THE CONSUMER TO SEE SAFELY. THERE IS SEVERE HESITATION AFTER SLOWING THE VEHICLE DOWN, FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN SURGE OF POWER. *MR THE DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT INDICATED THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIX THEM. *NM

THE HIGH INTESITY LIGHTS (HIL) DO NOT ILLUMINATE ENOUGH DOWN THE ROAD FOR THE CONSUMER TO SEE SAFELY. *BF MOST OF THE LIGHT ILLUMINATES OUT TO THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *NM

THE HEADLIGHTS ON A 2004 RX330 HAVE COST ME A LAWSUIT AGAINST DEALER. DROVE CAR SECOND NIGHT, 3 MILES, ON COUNTRY ROADS. I HAD MOTION SICKNESS AFTER THAT EXPERIENCE. EVERY TIME I HIT A BUMP THE CAR LIGHTS WOULD BOUNCE, AS IF ON A SPRING. THE LINE FROM LIGHTS GOES ACROSS CENTER OF WINDSHIELD AT EYE LEVEL. THE DRIVER CAN'T SEE BEYOND 20 FT. WHEN LOOKING BEYOND 20 FT. YOU SEE TOTAL DARKNESS. WHEN PASSING A PERSON ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD YOU CAN ONLY SEE THEM FROM THE KNEES DOWN. VERY SCARY DRIVING THE RX 330 AT NIGHT. *JB

CAR IS A 2004 LEXUS RX330. IT HAS HID HEADLIGHTS. THESE ARE THE WORST HEADLIGHTS I HAVE EVER HAD ON A CAR. THEY ONLY LIGHT UP ROAD A VERY SHORT DISTANCE. ESPECIALLY ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THATS THE WAY THEY WERE MADE. THIS IS A REAL SAFTEY ISSUE. I NEVER WOULD OF BOUGHT THIS CAR IF I NEW THIS.*AK

THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE HIGH INTENSITY BEAMS. CONSUMER CAN'T SEE THE TURNS COMING UP OR THE ROAD. THE ROAD ILLUMINATION IS 35 FEET, AND THE STANDARD CALLED FOR 150 REGULAR LIGHTS. DEALER STATED THEY CAN'T BE ADJUSTED. *AK

THE HEADLIGHTS ARE MY NEW RX330 HAVE SUCH LIMITED SIGHT DISTANCE THAT I'M AFRAID WITH THE DEER POPULATION IN MY AREA, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BRAKING TIME. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DISTINCT CUT OFF IN LIGHTING BUT SAY THEY ARE TO STANDARDS AND NOT MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND AM STILL COMPLAINING. *AK

HIGH-INTENSITY HEADLIGHTS ON 2004 LEXUS RX 330 DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE NIGHT VISION YET ARE SET ACCORDING TO FACTORY SPECIFICATIONS ACCORDING TO MANUFACTURER. ILLUMINATED DISTANCE IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AT "NORMAL" BEAM DOES NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE OBSTACLE RECOGNITION AND BRAKING TIME EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS OF 25-30 MPH ON DARK ROADS. *NLM

THE HEAD LIGHTS ON MY 2004 LEXUS RX330 ARE SO CONCENTRATED WITH LITTLE OR NO DIFFUSION OF LIGHT THAT WHEN THE ROAD IS NOT FLAT AND THERE IS A DIP I CAN'T SEE BEYOND 20 YARDS. WHEN THE HIGH BEAMS ARE ON THERE ARE SHADOWS THROUGH THE ENTIRE FIELD OF VIEW. THERE ARE DISTANT LINES OF DEMARCATION BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK. I FEEL THAT IT IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE. *JB
