Default Condensation in the headlights

I noticed that there were condensation/fogging in both headlights after riding today. The weather was warm, and I don't remember this every happening. Do any of you guys have the same problem? I'm sure this isn't normal. It's not serious but it ain't good. Anything I can do to fix it?

Thanks.

I've never had this problem. I noticed that you mods list EuroDezign Blue Xenon Bulbs. Maybe they don't seal as well as the stock H7 bulbs.

one other option. When you replaced the bulbs, figuring you replaced them yourself, did you put the rubber seal at the back of the housing back on? Not doubting your abilities, just throwing an idea out
My F2 uses H4 bulbs, and, has a rubber boot seal that goes on the back of the headlight housing to seal it off.

The rubber seal is in its place. The only other change I've made was adjusted the light housing to shine lower. I didn't have this problem last fall.

I run my low beam continuously so I don't get any in there cause its nice and warm but I always have condensation in my high beam, I always assumed this was because of the temperature difference between the two and the moist air. When I switch the high beam on for a bit it soon dissapears. How are you running your lights?
