one of the bulbs is probably not on right so its letting in water or something causing it to get foggy so just check the bulbs make sure they are on there good.

This issue is pretty common with 350z headlights. Your options are to live with it, replace the entire headlight (very pricey) , or remove the lense and reseal it. Here is a link with instructions on resealing the headlight if you are so inclined https://my350z.com/forum/body-interi...eadlights.html

I would pull the headlight and check the seal of the dust cap in the back. You might actually pull the cap off and reseat it.

Just a note on the DIY, if you decide to do it, watch for the sealant becoming stringy, have something like a small knife or a razor blade to cut through the strands as you separate the lense from the housing.

If you don't cut those strands, they can end up landing on the inside of the housing.
