Sometimes especially if you live in a humid climate or its been raining or snowing a lot moisture gets inside the lens . You can remove the bulb & what I have done in the past is switch the hose around on a shop vac so that it blows semi warm air , it works better if you have a heated garage . It takes a few mins & that usually dries out the lens .

In my truck I had the problem of the reflective coating on one lens peeled off and it wouldn't put out enuff light to read a book.

When I was down by the gulf of mexico, I noticed alot of vehicles in general that had "yellowed" headlights and front turnsignals. I alway's thought, that it was very humid when the light was changed, thus causing moisture to stay inside, causing the yellowness. Could this be true?

What Ive found is the rubber O ring on some of the bulbs dries out let moisture in around it . Seems to me its the GE bulbs , I replaced mine with either Phillips or Sylvannia bulbs & havent had a problem .
