Headlamp TSB? (Cloudy hazy appearance)

I just saw this on Alldata. I noticed this last summer myself and it kind of annoyed me.

Does anyone have the actual TSB posted somewhere on this issue?

I have a printout, but can't remember what site I found it. It basically says to clean the plastic headlamp lenses with 3M Plastic Polish(#39010) with a soft, dry cotton terry cloth towel.

But the cloudy apperance seems to be on the inside of the head lamp.

yes, what can we do about the inside of the lamp? does anyone have any experience cleaning it? do we have to take apart the lamo to get to the inside, or is there an easier way? if i am gonna take it apart, i may as well do the AE custom job to them!

there's no way to clean the inside of the lense without taking the headlight unit apart and if you didn't put it back together correctly, like making sure evening is sealed correctly then the problem would only get worse.
