It's time to call the dealer and have them order a replacement. There is no reason for any water or moisture to be infiltrating the housing, it is supposed to a sealed unit that should not be happening

UPDATE. My left headlight will be replaced. Apparently they said that should not be happening and they told me they already replaced a few of them. Must be a bad batch from the factory. They told me if it is the temperature outside then both of the headlights should have the same problem but my right side is totally fine so moisture must be getting in somewhere around the seals.

Hey. The dealer say anything else about it? Like a service bulletin or anything? Thanks.
Glad you got yours replaced.

none at the moment. I need to give my vehicle back to them for a few days next week. When I get the work order sheet and see anything about WIS information I will post it here.
