Default Condensation damage headlights?

My driver side bulb is out and I noticed that there is condensation in the headlight. Is that due to the condensation? and does it damage any other part of the headlight?

thanks!

Not necessarily. I have seen GS's 2nd & 3rd Gen. with condensation in the light housing and the bulbs still worked for years. I believe you just have a bad bulb. If you pressure washing your car, this seems to add/cause the condensation. Try using a water hose w/out pressure.
