Can you wipe the fog off? If not then you have moisture in them which = bad.

That means they are cheap and not sealed. Replace them with some OEM quality lights...

yes, it happens, even on OEM lights. it should go away after a bit but if it gets worse then there is a problem

As long as it isn't collecting a lot of water, then I wouldn't worry about it.
