Headlight Cataracts?

My '87 Carrera has H5 headlights; are they sealed beams?

The Driver's side headlight appears to have a hazy, white coating on the inside of the glass. High and low beam work just fine, and the intensity of the lights at night does not seem to be affected, but it looks a little strange in the daytime.

Has anyone else seen this? I',m gonna guess that the filament is about ready to die and the residue is vaporized metal. Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance.
