cloudy HID low beam lens

Both the HID low beam lens looks cloudy, something has condensed on the backside of the lens. Does anyone have this problem and has anyone open the headlight housing to clean it?

Take it to the dealer - it's a warranty fix. They'll just replace the whole assembly. Happened to my OZ within a few weeks of my getting it.

Unless you previously undid the headlight housing, I agree.....bring it to the dealer. Your headlight housing is not fully sealed.

if they refuse, you could always use some of the plastic cleaners. It'll make your plastic clear again.

It's just water vapor condensed on the back of the lense. Using plastic cleaner on the front side of the lense won't do anything but make a mess and possibly discolor the clear lense.

they don't go yellow... it's not 1980's kickback products anymore.

I thought you had haziness on your lense.

They'll replace that, since it could cause danger in driving. That should be your statement.
