Default Clouded side mirrors

A few days after buying our new IS350 F-Sport we noticed that the side mirrors looked like there was soap scum build up on them. Hubby tried to get it off, to no avail. Brought it in to the dealer and they couldn't figure it out, so they said they would just order new mirror glass.. You can kind of see it here, but it was kind of hard to capture.


I'm sitting at Jim Hudson Lexus getting it replaced now, and I got LED puddle lights that they are putting in for me after convincing the guy that it's an easy procedure. He tried to give me a bit about having to remove the door panel and all that. I told him that i'd seen online that you just take out the screws on the housing and the bulb is right there. He was all " I'll look at it, but I don't know." So then I pulled up the tutorial on here and tried to show him and he got a bit of an attitude saying he'd already figured it out. Sorry dude, I know it hurts when a girl tells you how its done. LOL

LOL Snappy. Go get em! I have to ask, what is that I can see, when I tilt my head sideways, through your cloudy mirrors? Almost looks like a Viper?

Good for you, Snappy. I will arm myself with a little more information than necessary if I'm going to be sans the hubby to avoid this very thing.
Post a pic of the LED puddles if you get a chance.
