Haze on Headlight Lens

Anyone have an issue with a white haze forming just above their low-beam head light? It's only happening on the left one, but it seems to be getting worse. I'm not sure if it is condensation or is some sort of discoloration being caused by the heat from the headlight. I'm starting to think the latter because if it was condensation, it should come and go right? I live in Florida, so there is definitely no shortage of condensation, but it stays parked in the garage at night.

I'm keeping an eye on it, I'm guessing I'll take it in to the dealer this weekend if nothing changes...

Condensation is a common issue... and it should go away on its own after a short trip... but if it doesn't, I'd say it's time to pay your service advisor a visit...

Many cars develop haze from being in hot sun and inclimate weather. Had same happen on my Clk that I always kept outside. If that is the case with yours, there're buffing kits that can help with it a bit.

I think the OP is speaking of it being on the inside of the lens, not the outside.
