Default Anyone else getting new headlights?

Car goes in today to get new headlights. Car is a 2006 only a few months old and the headlights are messed up. Something appears to be dripping down the inside of the lens, the passenger side even has a hair inside of it!!

Anyone else had the headlights on their '06 replaced?

It doesn't pick up in pictures, and it isn't condensation. It's a filmy residue, sort of reminds me of something...if you've ever seen on CSI when they use super glue to lift fingerprints it makes a foggy film on the clear plastic...it's kind of like that. It originated just above the headlight lens and dripped down the inside of the lens from there. I tried to take pics but you can't see it in photos.

And the piece of hair...well...that's just weird. When I went to pick up my car I dropped my friends car off(he works next door) and I started talking to a guy who also has an '06 Z and is experiencing the same problem. If you've got an '06 go out to your car and look at the inside of the lens, you may have to look at it so the black part of the headlight is in the background.
