possible headlight problem

Last night, when I got out of the car and did a little inspection of the car and saw moisture in a couple of spots in both headlight casings. It was around the bottom of the circle for the highbeam and in the signal lamp area, around the reflector. I wiped the lenses just to make sure that it wasn't scraped plastic and sure enough, it was on the inside. This was the first time I ever noticed it.

Has anyone else had this problem? Should I take it into the dealer?

Water condensation should not be in your headlights..if it is, seal is not good/broken. It's a good idea to take it to the dealer for replacement..

Or the lens might have a small crack in it allowing moisture to enter. Have the dealer check it out...

A very little amount could happen. It will go away quick. Each headlight has 2 breathers so condensation does not happen, but a little might.

I took another look today and there was none....perhaps it was a freak thing. Ah well, if it happens again I'll take it in. Thanks again.
