Condensation's in Driver's Side Headlight

It rained heavily here in Phoenix yesterday, now I have a lot of condensation on the inside of the plastic headlight cover on the driver's side. I have never owned a vehicle with a plastic cover that goes over the actual bulb, so I don't know if this is an acceptable conditon or not. I have a feeling that it's not supposed to happen (I imagine it might be bad for the bulb if the moisture actually reaches it), but I thought I'd check before taking it over to the dealer. Any help?

thanks,

Plastic Housing Either Has A Small Crack Or Seal Where Bulb Twists In The Back Not Good Either Way Have Them Fix It

You may be able to use a sealant and fix it yourself.

If you run with your headlights on for a while, it should clear it up. However if water keeps getting in there it will eventually make the chrome reflective lining bubble up. You don't want that....
Take it to the dealer, this should be covered under warranty!
