Lexus LC Hybrid Headlamp Leveler and Warning Light Issues

Headlamp leveller malfunction

Warning light in the speedometer of the vehicle

Hey! I'm a bit concerned about my 2020 Lexus LC Hybrid with about 192,220 KMs on the clock. The old girl's giving me a couple of issues - my headlamp leveller is acting up and I've got a warning light on the speedo. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the headlight range control messing around. The last time I was at a mechanic, I learned to distrust them the hard way. So, I want to hear from you guys first. Anyone here had a similar issue and can give me a clue? What was your experience like dealing with mechanics for this kind of trouble? Would appreciate any advice here, cheers.

Hey there, Having a similar ride - a 2017 Lexus GS F - I've seen a similar issue just a few months back. For me, the annoying issue began with the headlight levelling warning light. After eliminating the simpler potential causes, it turned out to be a defective servomotor in the headlight that was messing with the range control. Getting it fixed wasn't a cakewalk though, especially since it's a somewhat intricate component of the vehicle. The boys at the garage had a good look and diagnosed the problem correctly. They were methodical, started from checking wiring, connectors then moved to the more complex parts. Must say, it was a relief to know it wasn't some major engine issue or anything of that sort! Anyhow, might be worth it to have another professional set of eyes – outside your regular garage maybe - just give it a look. Remember, the aim is to diagnose the issue right the first time. Heads up, it might take a littlе time and patience to resolve, don't stress too much. Best of luck with it!

Hey! Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience - sounds pretty spot on with what I'm going through. Nailing the issue on the first try seems to be the key here. Just curious, can you recall roughly how much the repair set you back? And has anything else popped up since then related to this issue? No harm in knowing what I might be in for, right? Again, cheers for the insights!

Hey! No problem, happy to help a fellow enthusiast! When it came to shelling out the cash, the total damage came to 1040€. Steep, yeah, but it fixed up the defunct servomotor in the headlight. Since the fix, things have been smooth sailing, haven't encountered any more problems. I'd say it was worth every penny not to have that headlight range control issue breathing down my neck anymore. Keep that chin up fixes like these can feel like a kick in the teeth at the expense but they do reassure peace of mind in the end. Stay sturdy on the road, and here's to future trouble-free miles! Cheers!

Hey! Cheers for all the specifics. I braced myself for a big hit to the wallet, so your ballpark figure gives me some perspective. Glad to hear you've had no issues since the fix. Fingers crossed it'll be the last of this headache for me as well. I'll rope in a worthwhile mechanic for a proper diagnosis and hopefully get this sorted. Your input and reassurances have indeed made the process seem less daunting. Thanks again for sharing your experience and here's hoping to smoother roads ahead. Stay safe and take care!
