    I replaced both of the headlights on my 2015 Tundra with the TRD 2018 LED versions with the harness and they've been night and day difference. However, I've started noticing what appears to be a cloudy haze on the inside of the driver's side lens. I don't see any signs of moisture and I'm 98% certain the haze is on the inside of the headlight.

    It's only at the bottom of the lens, and that wasn't like that when I installed them.

    Has anyone ran into this? 2018 LED Headlights.jpg

    Make sure you have a good bulb seal. Maybe even replace them to rule it out.

    I'll check all the bulbs tomorrow. Its weird because I've NEVER seen moisture..just this cloudiness and it's always at the bottom of the lens 24/7.

    Definitely looks like moisture is getting in. Just a tip while you’re figuring it out - keep it out of direct sun. The moisture will dry too quickly and it will haze over inside the light.
