Condensation in headlights

I noticed the other day after I washed my car that my driver's side headlight was full of condensation. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I screwed, or will my dealership be able to seal them properly?

dealership should take care of this immediately, as long as there's no evidence that you have taken the headlight housing apart. It is under warranty. My sister had this happen with her S70 volvo. They replaced the headlight completely.

Thanks. No I haven't done anything to them, like clearing the corners. I guess I'll make an appointment tomorrow. With my luck it will probably clear out and the dealership won't find a problem. I'll just have to soak the headlight like I do when I wash it, before I take it to them.

Just had my driver's side headlight assembly replaced under warranty last week because of condensation. I took a photo of the headlight with the condensation in case it would evaporate before the appointment. Previous threads about headlight condensation indicate it is due to a bad seal.
