i think its the high beam bulb; im not sure. but its one of the smaller bulbs that point straight forward.. but i've had the car for like 2 months now, and it looks like caramel coating on it. i spent a lotta time trying to make the headlight assembly all nice and clear of weird colors (fav part of the car...) and now theres brown reflected all around :mad: if those are normal, then theres little i can do about it; but if its not, im gonna get them replaced as soon as possible. the dealer here sells hyperwhites, so i mite as well buy from them and have them install it......those are harder to install i think.... any help would be appreciated...thanks:cool:

No, thats not normal at all. Just replace the bad bulb and that should cure your problem. The high beam bulb is probably the easiest bulb in the headlight assembly to change and you could definatley change it yourself. Just look in the back of your owners manual, it gives detailed instructions with pictures about changing the bulb:)
