Default Condensation inside xenon headlamp

As some of you may know I just bought an 04 Avant and I noticed a small amount of condensation inside the headlamp.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there an easy fix for this? Will this problem eventually burnout my xenon headlight or is the xenon part enclosed seperately inside the headlamp?

Thanks!

There is a bad seal on your headlights. Your best solution would be to remove the headlight(s) and stick them in the oven or use a heat gun to separate them. Then remove the old sealent and install new sealent, reheat and then press together until cool. That will fix the problem.

is there condensation on the actual projector glass, or is it on the inside of the plastic lense?You may have a crack somewhere on your housing. If thats the case, then it will probably be pretty hard to figure out where it is. You may have to buy a whole new housing(which are not cheap)

the seal is highly more likely than a crack in the housing.
