I know this because I bought a pair of replacement headlights off ebay for my old 1999 Z28 Camaro, they looked like crap about a year after I bought them.
As far as your moisture problems, if you're lucky you won't need to even take them off the car to fix them. 1st step is to dry out the moisture. Take the bulbs out, get a hair dryer or heat gun(make sure the head gun stays on low) and patiently turn those little water droplets into gas. If you have your bulbs out the moisture should evaporate right out of there. It might take an hour of standing there with a hair dryer if you don't have a heat gun.
Then to seal them, get out your black electrical tape and put 2-3 layers along that top seal where the lens/back of the headlight meets. Make sure to get all of it sealed, even those hard to reach areas.
That fix has worked for going on 4 years on my passenger side headlight.

It is possible to swap the lenses over. The flange where the lens meets the back housing has to be trimmed on the ebay lights. The main issue I had was getting a proper seal with these lights. Another issue was the edge where the light meets the fender is now exposed since it is all clear. The factory lens is painted gray around the flange to prevent this. I would recommend buying some extra butyl to seal the lights and adding some silica packs behind the chrome shroud to absorb moisture.
I didn't keep the lights, so I don't know how long it holds up, but the polycarbonate used on these lenses suck. The lenses themselves are thinner and lack a quality UV coating. I would recommend using a coating like Opti-lens or putting a clear film over the lights to extend their life.
