Default Got a bubble in my headlight

Well, after nearly 2 and a half years of ownership, I got a bubble in my driver's side headlight at the base of the headlight. I think the headlight material is flawed and can't take the high temperatures f the HID bulbs, so I think all of us will have this problem over time. I was at Mingster's house and noticed it. Mingster has bubbles in both of his headlights. I'm sure my passenger side headlight will get a bubble soon.

I know some people on this board have already gotten their headlights replaced because of the bubble. Has it come back???

I have about 6 months left on the warranty and will probably get the headlight replaced before it runs out.

Actually the HID bulbs arent high temperature. The bubble may be caused from the projector lense magnifying the direct sunlight from above causing it to burn the housing.

Seeing as these bubbles are just about impossible to deter, can someone post some pictures of what they look like. Are they really noticable and ugly? I don't have any, but if they're caused from the sun, then most likely I'll get them and I'd like to know what to expect. Thanks...
