Condensation in Headlights

Hi everyone. New member here. I leased an RLX tech last week and I'm already noticing some condensation in 2 of the "Jewel Eyes". One on the driver side and one on the passenger side. Wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if its a known problem. Guess I should take it back to the dealer.

I am wondering if the headlights are sealed. On my A6 the headlights have a fan to cool the LED lamps so can't see how mine would be sealed.

I have had our RLX for 11 months and have not seen any condensation in either lens.
I would return to the dealership and have them resolve the problem, but just be sure to take a photo in case it evaporates...

Condensation in a lamp means there is a defective seal, most likely between the lens and the housing. They are probably leak tested at the factory of the lighting supplier (Stanley electric?).
Any interior, reflective coating on the housing will be destroyed by condensation. Also, you will lose light output. Have it replaced.
