Default 2012 IS250 driver side headlight has a reddish tint to it..

So i just noticed a few weeks ago that my lights didnt see as bright as they usually are when driving at night. Yesterday when I started my car up outside at night, they came up and the way to shined onto my garage made me get out of my car to take a look. The driver side front headlight has this cloudy reddish tint to it. Definitely not what they should be. I dont see anything on the headlight itself for this to be a cosmetic issue but i am not sure what it could be.

Any ideas?

D4 bulb is dying. Replace it/them! Do not touch the glass on new bulbs, oils from finger prints will break the glass.
RS = pull the airbox.
LS = pull the washer fill neck to the side.

Just remember, you get what you pay for. Those cheaper bulbs won't perform and last like a quality product would.
