I have the same thing, its right where the Zenon light is!!! No matter what you use to clean it, it always comes back. I believe it is on the inside of the lense!!!!

My girlfriend had the same problem. The dealership she bought it at said all the Maxima's have that haze. We went to a different dealership and they said no that's not normal. So we went back to the original dealership and told them what the other dealership said and they supposedly replaced something. I have no clue what they did, but it was gone for a while, but I think it came back somewhat, but not as bad.

In other words....I have no clue.

I thought I was the only one with this prob. I blamed it on myself, thought I may have lightly scrathed the lights or damaged them somehow using Goo-gone to get off caked on bugs. I have always used a clean 100% cotton cloth on them. My "haze" is also where the Xenon light is. Love to know a solution.

I have the same problem.

You can use cleaners to try to improve the situation, but it will always be there.

I would try not to worry about it.

I tried plastic polish and it didn't do a thing. You can only see it at night with the headlights on. I believe it's on the inside of the lens.

All you have to do is use your favorite wax on the headlights and buff it off. Two applications is all it takes for me to get rid of all the haze and make them look good.

I had a film or haze on the inside of my 2k Maxima headlights after installing some aftermarket bulbs. (Wagner Brightlights) The dealer replace my headlights with new ones, but I discovered later that they had also replaced the bulbs with stock ones. Covered under warranty.
