Does anyone else have condensation buildup on their foglight lenses? Just noticed it today 
Those that have removed the bulbs to replace, is their a seal, gasket type thing in there?
Looks like I'll have to run them all day and night to rid them of moisture

If you put the foglights on it should cleaar up due to the heat they create in a couple minutes.
If it's really WET, if you see water in there or drops on the inside of the glass, they need to be replaced.
! we are talking foglights again

To get rid of condensation, turn on foglight every time you drive.
Oh, I'll take it back. Just turn on until the condensation go away. Don't do this when you're driving or you'll be shot down by ICE storm

I've had condensation in my headlights too, I called BMW and explained the problem, they said that the headlamp is not supposed to be sealed but that the xenon lamp and adaptive equipment is. Recommended to turn on the lights to get rid of it. It usually happens when I go to the high pressure no touch car wash or when the car is been parked to long in front of a grass sprinkler.
