Thanks. I managed to free it off, but can’t find a replacement. RainEx lists a replacement but it is wrong. O’Reilly’s didn’t have anything that worked either, so I had to put the old one back on.

Maybe try this: On the 2023 Lexus RX350h, the rear wiper uses a concealed-style arm, so the replacement process is a little different from older hook-type wipers. Rear Wiper Blade ReplacementTurn the vehicle OFF. Lift the rear wiper arm away from the glass until it stays in the raised position. Locate the small locking tab where the blade attaches to the arm. Press the tab and slide the blade downward (toward the base of the arm) to release it. Remove the old blade. Install the new blade by sliding it into the arm until it clicks securely into place. Gently lower the wiper arm back onto the glass. Important TipsDo not let the bare wiper arm snap back onto the rear window. The spring tension can crack the glass. Many aftermarket catalogs list either a complete blade assembly or a refill insert. The complete blade assembly is usually easier to install. The 2023 RX uses a different rear blade design than previous RX generations, so verify compatibility before purchasing. If the blade won't come offMany Toyota/Lexus rear wipers have a hidden release clip under a plastic cover. If pressing the visible tab doesn't release it: Flip the blade 90° to the arm. Look underneath for a locking clip. Compress the clip while sliding the blade toward the arm pivot.

This is actually a fairly common issue when retrofitting newer or larger projectors into the RX330/RX400h AFS headlights. Based on your description: The AFS mechanism is working because the projector moves up/down during self-leveling. The left/right swivel function is being mechanically blocked. The most likely cause is that the newer projector's lens holder or shroud is larger than the OEM unit, and it contacts the chrome bezel (inner trim) before the AFS motor can complete its travel. What usually causes it?The 2007 RX400h factory AFS system was designed around the dimensions of the original Koito projector. When installing projectors such as: Hella E55 Koito Q5/Q5-R AL Bosch NHK Aozoom Other aftermarket bi-xenon projectors the lens frame often sits farther forward or has a larger diameter. The chrome trim inside the housing becomes the limiting stop for AFS movement. How to verifyWith the lens removed from the vehicle: Command the AFS left/right movement. Watch the projector from the rear of the housing. Identify exactly where contact occurs: projector lens to chrome bezel shroud to chrome bezel projector body to reflector housing AFS frame contacting the housing You may even see polished or rubbed spots on the chrome trim. Typical solutions1. Trim the chrome bezel (most common)Many retrofitters carefully relieve the inside opening of the chrome trim. Remove only the area causing interference. Maintain the visible front appearance as much as possible. Smooth the edge after trimming. Repaint with chrome-effect paint if the cut area is visible. Usually only a few millimeters of clearance are required. 2. Reduce projector protrusionIf your custom brackets allow adjustment: Move the projector slightly rearward. Center it within the bezel opening. Ensure the projector is not tilted. Sometimes moving the projector back 2-3 mm provides enough AFS clearance. 3. Modify the AFS mounting frameIf the projector adapter or custom bracket places the projector off-center: Re-drill or slot the mounting holes. Reposition the projector closer to the AFS pivot centerline. This reduces the arc that the lens travels during swiveled operation. 4. Use a smaller shroudIn some retrofits the lens itself clears, but the decorative shroud hits the bezel first. Check whether: the lens clears the shroud is actually what's contacting If it is the shroud, changing to a smaller one is preferable to aggressive chrome bezel trimming. What I would do firstBefore cutting anything, check whether the interference is from: the lens holder, the projector shroud, or the actual projector body. If the projector is centered correctly on the AFS frame and only the front lens area touches the chrome trim, then carefully trimming the chrome bezel is usually the accepted fix and is often required when using larger retrofit projectors in RX400h AFS housings.

Hi everyone, maybe someone has had a similar issue with Lexus RX headlights. I installed different projectors and an AFS frame. After adjusting the headlights, they move up and down correctly, but they don’t move left or right because the projector/lens is hitting the chrome trim inside the headlight. Has anyone had this issue? What is the correct way to solve it? Do I need to modify the chrome trim or adjust the projector/AFS frame somehow? Used this projectors 3.0”
