If it's the former, there may be a bulb or electronic problem covered by warranty. If it's the latter, perhaps the plastic cover discoloration can be cleaned up with the appropriate plastic cleaners/restorers.

Your profile shows Xenon lamps ... is the main lamp bulb not white or are you referring to the headlamp cover being discolored?

refering to the headlight covers. Can they be ordered separately? I called a local body shop to see if they would buff/poish, etc. They said no because it will just return.....

when i got mine as a certified vehicle i tried to get them replaced and said that
the discoloration was a defect,but they said its not covered cus its a normal wear and tear.
after not going back to that dealer for scratching my car i went to another local dealer \
and inquired again and without any hessitation they called me and said that they will be able
to replace it under warranty.i think it cost $800 per side and i got it through warranty.
