this happens to all cars. not just subarus. you can polish it out. wet sand em then just take some polishing wax and buff it out. its pretty easy.

if not my buddy's shop will do it for ya but i think its like $20-$30

It does happen in most cars, and yes even the Evos. It happened to my old '03 VIII and my folks' Camry. What michele said is right and pretty easy to do, just wet sand it and polish it out.

Is there actually water inside? Because I think we're talking about 2 different things. 1. Yes, all car headlights will fade and appear foggy from sun damage etc. This is all exterior. 2. If there is actually moisture inside (maybe you can see a few water droplets), then you need a new headlight, unless you want to take them all apart and reseal them. The same thing might happen tho. The moisture gets in because the seal around the headlight broke a little bit and when the headlight heats up, you get condensation.
