Ive painted several headlight housings with krylon fusion and used 4500k, and 6k 55w HIDS and never seen this happen. I hope they fix this, if it happens to mine, Im taking it back everytime it bubbles up.

Just checked mine - nothing yet. I'm sure it's too early still...I have 3500 miles on the car. I will keep watching though for sure. Keep us updated Ken.
