Why doesn't my garage door opener work to close the door after I pull out of the garage, when I have the HID Headlights on?
I recently purchased a Certified 2011 Lexus RX 350, and ever since I
brought the car home, I have been having problems closing my garage
door after pulling out of the garage, when my headlights [or Auto and it's
dark] are on and shining into the garage. When I turn the headlights off
and do the same steps, it works fine! The dealer sent a Tech to the house,
and he brought a 2016 RX 350 loaner. When he parked next to my car, he
programmed my garage door codes into the loaner and everything worked
fine! But, when I turned my car on and turned on the headlights shining
into the garage, even the loaner didn't work. I have read that my 2011
came with HID [High-Intensity Discharge] headlights, and the 2016 model
comes with LED headlights. Could it be the HID headlight bulbs that are
causing the problem? For the record, I changed batteries in all the
remotes, and re-programmed the remotes and the Homelink system in my
car - and got the same results every time! And, my wife's Honda Accord
also has both garage doors programmed into the Homelink system in her
car, and the openers work every single time - until I turn on my car and turn
the headlights on! HELP!?!?!
