Condensation is normal since the headlights ar not completely sealed.
If you see water spots/drops on the inside, then you need to see the dealer to get it fixed.

can you be more specific? by N/S do you mean not stock? If you feel that they are seal up well, remove the bulbs from the back and blow some compressed air inside the headlight to help get the moisture out, then leave the bulbs out and park the car in the sun to evaporate any remaining moisture. reinstall bulbs and recheck, but normally there is either a crack in the lens or housing, or the seal between the lens and housing is leaking.
