Default Major Headlight Moisture?

I know people have been having a problem with headlight fogging, but does anyone here have actual water beads in their lights? It rained here last night, and thats when it started happening. The lights almost look like they are wet on the outside. Any suggestions or reasons as to why this is happening? I've never opened my headlights, so I don't know what could be causing this. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a certain mileage that the TSB must be claimed by? I also have a gold plus warranty (10 years or 100,000 miles). Anyone know if that would cover the lights? My HID stopped working today after some rain.

Default Here is the skinny.

If the lens is fogged up, or has visible moisture, that is considered normal according to Nissan, and will not be replaced at no charge under warranty.
If the lens has obvious drops of water, or any puddling of water on the lens, it will be replaced free of charge. I have had both of mine replaced by my dealer at no charge, which I was told the cost for one is $850.
