DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles equipped with LED or Discharge type headlights may exhibit white milky stains on the inner surface of the headlight lens. Some customers may complain of the poor appearance.
This concern is caused by gas that emits from a gasket in the lamp unit. The gas adheres to the inner surface of the headlight lens and reacts with the anti-clouding coating and moisture in the air to create white milky stains.
The gasket material has been improved to eliminate this concern.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE

NOTE: Foggy lenses due to condensation is a natural phenomenon. Do not replace the head lamp unit(s) for foggy lenses.
- Replace the affected head lamp unit(s) with modified parts according to the instructions on MS3 online or the Workshop Manual (section 09-18 FRONT COMBINATION LIGHT REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).
NOTE: Discharge Headlights Only: Be sure to replace the seal (shown below) with a new part.
