Floor Lit 3 Star is Fuzzy

When I unlock and the mercedes 3 symbol is displayed on the floor, the image has become all fuzzy - is this a warranty issue, any idea why this is happening?

I presume these are projected from under the wing mirrors, in which case I have just wiped under the mirror, still the same. Do I have to do somehting else?

Likely there is moisture on the inside of the lens. Not worth a separate trip to the dealer, but have them check it out next time you are in.

The dealers have said it's the projectors, and have ordered new parts, under warranty.
