Water entering the left front light cover

Did any of you ever encountered such issue?
Just saw it now that its wet only in the front left one. The right is dry.

There are vents in the lights. On a damp day I have condensation in both. After some time it clears out. I was worried about it also, but in the manual it states this is normal.

I have some reside on my light internally that can be seen on the glass. Is there a way to get into the light structure to clean out the inner contents?

This is unfortunately normal.. The vehicle's manual verifies it.

You can stick a couple of silica packets into a inconspicuous location inside the headlights and it will completely prevent any condensation.

This trick have always worked for me..

Thanks a lot, guys!

I was very worried about that. The only thing that concerns me now is why it is only in the left one? If I want to answer myself, I'll gamble it happened in the manual washing I went to yesterday. The guy, probably washed the left light and when he saw what he did, he didn't try the same on the right one.

Yeah it happens for me as well on both front headlights, especially when I wash the car.
