Default Condensation in Headlights

I just picked up my 08 BSP xB yesterday and today I'm noticing that there is some condensation in the front headlights. Not a normal thing but I'm wondering if it is something I should take up with the dealer. Anyone else had this problem?

Can happen when you use a presure washer under the hood some times.

I've used a pressure washer type hose at the car wash several times and have hadn't had any problems with condensation. Definetly take it back to the dealer and get them to either reseal the headlights or replace them.

The condensation in there ends up turning into a puddle of water somewhere so definitely get them replaced!

It must be a full moon and the planets are aligned. We picked up the wife's 08 xB yeterday and noticed the same thing last night. There was condensation in both the headlight lenses. Is this the norm for the lenses or will the dealer need to replace both? Are Scion or the dealers aware of this problem. I would like to know how many have had this problem, and what the corrective action was.
