Headlights look foggy under the lens

I just got a new 04 a few days ago and I noticed the front headlight look like they have moisture inside them. Anyone else have this problems?

Some here have had the same complaint. Take it back to the dealer and have them replaced.

my headlights are literally, like, white on the inside. I'll snap a picture one of these days, I JUST broke 60k miles this past week though, so im pretty sure i have no warranty coverage, which blows.

I think people often mistake exterior oxidizing for interior. Try a plastic compound/polish. If it's that bad, wetsand/compound/polish.
unless you're talking about condensation, I'd bet it's just oxidation.

it's definatly on the inside, its like a mix of oxidizing, and condensation, car has 60k on it, and its been like that since i bought it. so i assume its been like that well before i bought it aswell.
