Fog in the headlight housing

It escapes after it is garaged and the car is off. But when it's running and on the road it stays. So I might have to get it fixed. Hopefully it'll be present when I bring it by.

That one looks more like the normal amount you'll get some mornings, it's only an issue if it hasn't gone away by midday or so, keep an eye on it.

I'm getting it everyday now. Car is stored in the garage. When I take it out and come back for the day it looks like that. I even found frost inside on the side.

This is the same condition within my headlights. I called it condensation and a previous post referred to it as fog. My car is at the dealership now. Anyway I found a 2019 GTS with 3k on Carmax in Greenville, SC and it shows the condensation in the ads. It must be a lot more prevalent than I thought. See below for Carmax pic and pic of my headlights.

Mine started last week. The weather was 75 degrees and low humidity and bright sunshine. So I was driving with A/C off front windows down and sunroof open driving stop and go traffic at an avg of 35 mph for about 15 to 20 minute drives. The condensation starts after I park and the the engine bay starts cooling off which takes more than 6 hours. I think the heat dissipation of the twin turbo engine is over taking the vent process of the headlight housing. My rubber seal attached to my hood melted to the engine bay and ripped through the plastic clips when I opened the hood to check things out. Maybe my headlight housing seals have been compromised. Heat transfer is a complicated phenom and can cause havoc on rubber, plastic, etc. I have the dealer checking everything. Cooling fan operation, electronic thermostat operation, A/C on and off causing problems. My engine temperature gauge has been normal. I hope they find the root cause. Fingers crossed!
