Condensation in the headlights is a bad thing ... can cause your HID ballast to blow. Very expensive to replace.

Check to see if there are any leaks anywhere. You might have to get some all-weather silicone and reseal the headlight housing.

Search around to see how to take the bumper off your car and take the headlight housing off and seal. If you take it to the dealership ... $$$ on labor.

Honestly, it's not that hard to take the bumper off. I was a 'novice' with car fixing / DIY ... but it's been engineered to be taken off / put on very easily.
