Default Question: Odd Headlight Condensation..

hi everyone, thanks for viewing my thread.

I have this weird problem with condensation in my right headlight. My car ONLY gets condensation after i hand wash my car with a regular garage hose. However, when i run through a gas station car wash or when it rains, there's absolutely no condensation whatsoever!

Can anyone explain that to me or have any ideas?

where is the condensation in the headlight? if it is on the bottom of it, maybe the turn signal bulb socket not secure in place?

If you're stating that the condensation is temporary and not permanent, (ie: the condensation does not return on its own but rather under this specific condition) I would agree with "Ohiois350"

If it is because the turn signal bulb socket is loose, then why do i only get the condensation from hand washing? and not from rain or going through a gas station wash?
