Default Moisture in Headlight

Anyone have experience with this? Not sure how to remove the entire headlight to find the source for moisture. Just noticed it today when washing my car but I don't know how long this has been going on.

Check to see if your housing is cracked as described in noted TSB. You can Google search to see where to locate the actual TSB so you can read.
The TSB actually addresses that specifically. The tab cracked for the headlight mount, and that crack also lets moisture in.
Check the headlight mounting tab on top first.

Is it weird that I just started having this problem though? I've had my car for 2 years now but this is the first time I've seen the moisture

No it doesn't but I noticed the moisture as I was drying my car after cleaning it yesterday. My hood was misaligned in an accident almost a year ago but it got fixed. I noticed yesterday that it still is slightly misaligned so I thought that might be a factor. I just checked my headlights and found two really small hairline cracks but I'm not sure if it is enough to let moisture slip in.

Yah mine has the new design. Going to take it into the dealer's to get the light checked and see if it can be fixed under warranty and the repair shop to see if they can realign the hood properly. Thank you for all the info though much appreciated!
