Both headlight covers which came as clear plastic have developed a film in side of them which the dealer does not want to try to remove as he would have to break the seal. The problem has been getting slowly worse and is somewhat restricting the headlighs ability to let light pass through. Replacement cost at $288.oo each would be $604.80 including tax. A little steep for two pieces of plastic. Anyway I thought you might be interested. Thanks.
