Right Headlight Lense discolored or am I seeing things?
So I've been comparing my oem bi-xenon headlight lenses and my driver's side looks like it is discolored or not as clear. Now my car is garage kept and my car is clean so I know it isn't from oxidation as my car and headlights are washed regularly. Has anyone else experienced this or know what could be causing this? 
I did change the turn signal connector in that headlight a while ago. I don't know if this is related in any way. The bulbs are stealth chrome, however the one in that had the coating come off a bit as I put it on so some orange might be reflecting in there.

It could very well be from the inside as well. I know my passenger side has what appears to be some "heat damage" if you will on the inside of the main cover lens. I did buy a 3M headlight resto kit and have now all-together put several hours of work into, and it looks much, much better. So, obviously there was some crud on the exterior surface as well.

Did you dismantle the headlight lense to clean the interior? I don't want any problems with the seal being broken and water getting into the lense.
