Facelift passenger headlight fuzzy

Hi,
I was washing my wife's car yesterday and noticed that the passenger side headlight seems to have a haze on the lens. Is this a common problem, could it be caused by water ingress etc?
Could this potentially fail it's MOT (My old Mondeo failed due to incorrect colour)?
How easy is it to replace the headlight with motorised adjustment, and how much would one likely be?
Must be facelift model of course
Cheers,
Mondeoman (should really change my name now  )

the headlights can be removed and easily stripped down to clean the gubbins inside, its quite common, give the small focusing lense a clean to, you'll get much more light
dont rub the chrome reflector, the chrome comes off

Its just a matter of fitting the motors to your own headlights, you should/might have the wiring in place, you will likely just need the correct dashboard light switch and that should be it

If it's just a lttle condensation inside, then turn on the lights for a while. the heat from the bulb should make it evapourate
