Default Condensation in headlights

I've got a condensation problem in both our '04 and '05 in the passenger side headlight. Anyone else having this problem? I heard there was a recall for the 04 and 05 Acura's on this. The 05 is under the 12 month certified warranty, the 04 isn't.

Thanks in advance!

If one is under warranty, bring it in and they should replace it. There are seals around the bulb holder (like a big rubber donut, but flat). They're are also o-rings on the bulbs themselves. And if worse comes to worse, you can re-melt the sealant between the lens and the backing with a heat gun.
