Usual areas for water to get into a car:

Windows left open (not a joke)
Windows incorrectly fitted/bonded
Sunroof incorrectly fitted, seals broken
Break in door rubbers
Gromit in bulkhead incorrectly fitted/broken

They're the most common, water coming up through the floor isnt that common but can happen, youll have to take the carpets uot to dry them anyway, when theyre out check any gromits are fitted properly and not damaged.

If you still cant find it, get a mate to put a hosepipe over the above places while you sit in the stripped car with a torch looking for leaks.

:lol: Good luck, i fcuking hate water leaks with a passion. Mainly cos it means me being shut in a small boot for 20mins :o

Good luck:thumbs:

Check that the seal around your lexus lights is pulled tightly. I had the same problem just after fitting my lights. Ended up getting some silocone plastered on the inside of the lights to make it water tights at the seal and joints. Also to remove the water thats in the car just now go under the car and remove some of the rubber grommets that are on the underside under where the water is gathering. If ur thinking that it cant be the lights cos the water is at the front the answer to that is that the drivers footwell is the lowest point in the car and so the water will run from the back down to there. Hope that helps you out mate.

im being a fool, easier way to check look underneath for holes, but yeah seats are easy to remove ya gonna have to anyway to dry it out
Undo star drive screw holding plastic trim down the side of seats by doors,
VERY IMPORTANT, put red plastic fork into seat belt tensioner to disarm it, undo 2 bolts in floor, and remove seats, dont forget to remove the red fork from seat belt tensioner ONCE seats are bolted back in or they wont work in a crash, oh and if the tensioners go off when doing this it will be an expensive mistake, but its easy to not have em go off
