Hello all I just recently bought a 2020 stinger gt2 18k miles and I came out of dinner to see the head lights foggy or what looks like condensation. It was warm earlier in the day but at night was around 45 degrees. I am not sure if it is the temp decrease or what but since I purchased it which was a week ago the only water to touch it has been a full wash of the car no rain etc. I have not noticed this until tonight and in the day time it is all good. This car is garage kept as well. Can anyone help diagnose what this might be or if there is a fix ? Or is this just normal behavior from the temperature?

Yes, this seems to be normal and I have the same issue on my 2018, the headlight housings are vented. I hate that they did that and didnt have them fully sealed because its ugly and eventually its going to have an effect on the lenses in the long term.
 
Totally normal for LED headlights. Happens with every manufacturer in very specific situations.
 
I know the DBL headlights that come on the GT2 have a moisture absorbent pad (accessible after pulling back the inner fender well liner), there is a known issue that in high moisture situations the pad swells and interferes with the DBL mechanics causing an error light on the dash. There is a TSB to replace them with a different design.
Not sure if the other (non DBL) lights have this pad or not.

Had the same issue this morning when I got out of my car once at work. It was foggy for about two days and then cleared up on its own . I would give it some time before replacing moisture packs in headlights
