Default Oem vs aftermarket/ headlight condensation

After having the bulbs changed in my headlights at a local shop, one of my headlight has been getting condensation INSIDE the light mainly the small daytime light, not sure if it could just be not put in back right or if there's any way to fix it because it looks like crap, also wondering if as far as buying new headlights are concerned if oem would really be much better than buying aftermarket original looking headlights, which are about half the cost as the oems, its tougher to find the oem halogen lightsthanks rather than the hids thanks for the advice!

First you need to understand how condensation works. Short answer.. you need to stop air travel thru your headlights. dont wash your car using very cold water, cold to touch is ok, freezing cold, no bueno.

yes aftermarket will condense also
