Default Fogged up stock headlight on R.S. 3.0.

Hello everyone, walked outside just now and spotted some fog on my headlights thought it was on the outside untill i tried to rub it off and it turned out my right headlight is fogged up from the inside not completely but its definately visible moisture on the inside. the car has 23K miles and obviously still under a warranty is the dilership is open tomorrow do you guys think its worth to bring the car to them ?
what will they do ?

Thanks in advance for all answers.

Try checking to see if all your signal lights are completely plugged in. (Park light, turn signal light, and side marker light). If they are then I'd just take it in to the dealer and they would probably replace both head lights for free

Also to add to my post : I have HID bulbs in them , but have been running HIDs for a year and had no problem...

To avoid any trouble, I think you should replace HIDs with stock bulbs when you bring it in. The dealership may blame it on the HIDs and refuse to honor the warrantee.

During the day i kind of dryed it with hair dryer and left the bulb out so any additional moisture will get as sun was facing the headlight, just no walk outside to check and it fogged up again ! I ran the car and low/high beams for like 10 minutes dry again except the eyelid.. i think definately i gotta bring it to the dealer .. makes me mad !
