Go to the dealer and ask for a new pair on warranty replacement.

even if you get the condensation out by drying it out in the sun wouldn't it just come back the next time it rains?

I thought of just putting back the original bulbs, but I have aftermarket HID's. That voids the warranty right?

Lesson learned, i didnt put that dust cover back on tight after changing my LED's and had condensation on the passenger side headlamp. after a few minutes with the blow dryer its gone, hopefully for good. gonna double check that cover everytime now to make sure its on tight.
