Fog Inside Headlights

My car is 2012 with Bi-xenon lights and it has only 45k miles. However, I notice that there is some kind of fog that is forming inside the headlight probably due to the heat of the xenon bulb. The shape of the fog matches the shape of the light and it seems it cannot be cleaned from the outside.

Does anyone know how to clean this up? Has anyone had such a problem?

Same problem. Replacing the lens or sanding and reclearing is the only solution.

It actually isn't the lens... the fog seems to be on the inner side of the surface of the headlight and it is shaped exactly as the way the light is shaped when it touches the surface of the headlight.

Is it easy to open the headlight and then close it?
