Condensation in Headlamps

Just purchased the 2001 CL yesterday....not the CL-S.....had 24 miles on it and I noticed condensation in both headlamps in the evening. Took it to the dealership and the service guy said this is normal. But after kinda agruing with him, he said he was going to replace both lamps. Any of you guys experience this condensation. I know it's not normal and shouldn't happen, right?

there should be no condensation ideally so I suspect that the seals on the lights may have a problem.I have also see on a few occasions that agressive power washing of the engine compartment can cause this to happen (happened to me).I allowed a few hours and both lights dried out with no further problems.your dealer should handle this under warranty and rplace the assemblies in question.Jens
