Has anyone else notice any cloudy or opeque looking side marker lights? Mine is so cloudy that you can not even see the bulbs in there anymore. Also how about the head light plastic, mine starting from the eyebrows has started clouding up already. I did take it to the dealer and they will replace under warrenty all three and replace yet another cracked piece of wood trim this time on the dash though. Just wondering as I am sure the marker lights are not that expensive, but the head light is another story I bet and I would hate to have to replace them on my dime.

They will get misty after some 100 k miles and km's overhere.

But then the whole light cluster should be changed, do to old age.
Even the Xenons do not last forever, nor the leds.

At these milages also the windscreen should be changed to a new one.

All this for a new-car-alike visibility.

Yeah I feel you on the mileage thing but I only have 40,000 on my car and unfortunately the windshield has been changed twice already and is like new
