    So i have noticed some melting in my drivers side headlight similar to pics above. I have a morimoto HID setup. Wondering if I should put the stocks back in and go see the dealer, or just take them out altogether.

    Known manufacturing defect; several people have had their headlights replaced under warranty. You should be good.
