Condensation in both LH headlights

Could *just* a missing plastic surround/shroud cause this ?

If getting/fitting a new plastic shroud would cure it, wouldn't that keep the moisture in, thats already in there (if it keeps it out).

The black plastic surround - the bit you remove when you wanna change a headlight bulb.

I would have to phone a friend and ask the audience who tell me its number 11 !

okay, that doesn't have anything to do with it at all.

heat them up with a hair drier for a while to get the moisture to evaporate out the vent tubes or remove the bulb sockets. are the bulb sockets sealing good with the O rings?
