Thumbs down Headlight Condensation

Yesterday morning, after driving in all rainy days last week, I found a heavy water condensation in both headlight housings. I've had my Z for 20month now. (Purchased Jan,03) and haven't had any condensation until yesterday. It still hasn't gone at all and I'm getting really pissed off.

What's the reason? This is my only car and had driven it everywhere in all kinds of weathers, and haven't had this problem before.

If I bring this into dealer, can I get my headlights replaced by factory warranty?

Anyone else had same problems? If so, what did you guys do about this?

I assume this won't be good for night visibility either since those condensations will disperse light emit. (Just pure guess tho. )

What should I do about this?

Headlight housing was not modified at all, never opened.

Eugh.. I have this annoying thin film "build up" inside my headlight housing. I've always thought it was the outside of my headlights doing that, but my friend pointed out it was really inside. It kind of reminds me of oxide build up.. but this is the housing lens. :-(

Yeah.. I'll bring it in sooner or later.. It doesn't seem like it'll go away any time soon, since it's been about 5 days and it's still there, so I definitely need a fix on this issue.
