I used to have moisture bad in my one headlight. If you take the bulbs out and spray some air in there (if you have a compressor) it helps. You can also take the bulbs out and drive around (in nicer weather) to vent them a bit. I don't think you need to go as far as re-opening the lights tho.
Side note: i think that drive through car washes put the moisture in there. I think it was the force of the spray, but i've never gone back and i've never had the problem again.

I had that problem when I did mine similar any ways mine totaly went away( I think a side effect of the ccfls is they are hot so if there on long enought they will heat the moisture and then it will disipate?)
