Strange Headlamp unit issue in Audi TT

    Thought this was the beginning of the haze issue, ..... it's on the passenger side only.

    On closer inspection, the cloudiness appears on the inside, and there appears to be melting of the reflector as seen in the attached photo.


    Any thoughts on what might be the cause or advice on this ?


    Thanks

    Is it a new car or is it older?

    Reason I ask is that some people will use the wrong bulb to try and increase their vision or to make the car look "cool" rather than use the correct type of bulb.

    They look like 'projector' type headlamps and I'd imagine H7 bulbs of standard 55w should be used.

    Incorrect bulb seating can also cause melting of the reflector.

    Thanks Guys,............... it's a late 2008, 2 Owner , low mileage with Service History.

    It does seem like somebody messed up with an indicator bulb ? 😏

    On the lookout for a replacement Headlamp !
