I tried searching and did not see a post for this so... and am waiting for my manuals, etc.. Normally am not so lame, but it's my first RX, etc...
Gen 3 RX, passenger side headlight will not pop up, but light bulb lights up. Checked for obvious disconnections. None. Looked under the hood for fuse boxes and saw nothing labeled for headlights. Clues?

TIA,
MWS

never mind. I figured it out. even though the harness plug for the headlight motor looked fully plugged in, it needed a squeeze. Of all the things....

Umm.........check the harness plug. It's probably just loose

Forum to the rescue !! Hehe...I just spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out why my pass. side headlight was lit but would not pop up. I thought I had blown the motor. I looked through all my fuses then read this post. LOL, I just touched the harness to the headlight motor like you said and WELLA !!......Fixed !! Thanks mws for this post !

On some cold days my passenger side headlight comes up real slow and that headlight is also dim until its been running for a few mins. I thought maybe it was the 135 watt bulbs. Frying my harness?
