Lightbulb Hazy headlights!

Hi all, recently i have noticed a slight hazing on my headlights. My W211 is barely 9 months old and i seldom park my car in the open

And the hazing seems to be on the inside rather than the outside...now i'm left wondering if the hazing is actually caused by the bulbs themselves. Would really appreciate any kind of advice! Thanks!

Do you only notice it when the bulbs are on? Mine have a little dirt on the inside that I can only see when the lights are on.

I couldnt imagine that the plastic would start to fade/yellow in only 9 months?

I say take it to the dealer and complain..

Yeah part of it could be seen only when my headlights are on. Now i gonna try polishing it off, which should work if the hazing is on the exterior.
