Warranty Headlamp replacement. Should I?

Ok..this car is a lease. I noticed ( a few week after taking delivery) that on the inside glass of both headlights, there was some dried water spotting, not horrible, but it was there. I suspect that the dealer pressure washed the lamps point blank and there was some water ingress. Since then, I've been through a few very rainy months with no additional water ingress.
I notified the dealer, he looked at the lamps, and said it was covered under warranty.., the headlamps are available. So here's my question:
Is this a pretty straight ahead swap out? The current headlights work fine, and I don't really notice the water spots unless I put my nose down to the headlights. I'm wondering if a swap out might potentially cause more problems that weren't there to begin with, plus the hassle of doing it. I'm only 6 months into a 3 year lease..maybe I should wait?

I have had Zero problems since the Factory lamps were replaced by Newport Jaguar. Haven't had any more condensation stains either.
Get it replaced and be happy you did. Nothing to worry about.

Same boat, although mine isn't nearly as bad as yours. They power washed at the dealer (I know not to do that now...) and they were wet for about a day. I haven't been able to replicate using the local spray wash place. Wondering if it is worth it to have it be potentially worse after. But yours is way worse, I would do it if it were me.
