Xenons loosing brightness?

Are your xenons getting dimmer and less defined over the years? I just installed some 02-04 xenons and one was really foggy. I searched and most people seemed to just replace the entire fixture or just dealt w/ it...


One light was so bad, it looked to be half the brightness of the other. Today, I opened the hood, removed the high beam, and stuck a coat hanger with a lint free cloth taped to it, and sprayed a little windex on it. A few wipes later and they look brand new. The one that was dirty now puts the other one to shame...I need to do the other one next week.

I'll post pics if you want to see my McGuiver-like set up"
