Dirty headlight

I just noticed today when my headlights were on the drivers side eye ball had finger prints all over it. Don't see any way to access it to clean it?

if it's new take it back and have the dealer fix it....trust me, you don't want to go there yourself.

Yes, it's what looks like the eyeball with the halo around it. It looks like someone has grease on their fingers.

I'll live with it for now, just strange.

I have this same issue. The light looks perfectly clean when off. But when turned on, there is horrible distortion from what looks like a light mist/dirt in the middle. I haven't taken my headlight in for repair yet since I have a clear bra installed. I am not sure if the problem is the inside of the headlight or there was something there before the clear bra got put on.

This is exactly how mine are too.

I am going to bring this up when I take my car in this week. It's going in for 3 other issues I have (break/clutch fluid cap, rattling under car, rear end and power seat doesn't work) and now this!

I tried to take pictures, but they didn't turn out all that good. But my driver side is dirty and my passenger side is clean.

Do you think they will replace/clean them? I don't know...They don't seem to cause any issues when they are on, just look bad when you look at them.

i don't see why not....make a big deal about it. it's easy for them to prove that you havn't tampered with it. that's a pre-existing problem. all they would have to do is drop the the front bumper and install a new one. plug n play

A sloppy mechanic, or the assembly guy didn't wash his hands after lunch.
