Water in the lights?

Not sure if this fits here but figured Routine Maintenance was close enough. Bought a 2020 EX for my daughter last week and today there's moisture sitting in both headlamps. Does anyone know what causes that and if it's easy to clear out?
 
Try parking in the sun or using a hair dryer to clear it up. If it keeps coming back, check for cracks or ask the dealer about resealing options. Did it show up right after rain or a car wash?
 
It did appear right after we drove through a heavy rainstorm the day before. If the sun method doesn't work, would you recommend taking it to the dealer immediately or can I wait a few days to see if it clears up naturally?
 
If it's still under warranty take it to the dealer, let them sort thing out. I'm thinking it could be a damaged seal somewhere. You probably won't see it, but since you drove through a rainstorm it's probably why it happened.
 
Good point. Do you know if the dealer usually replaces the whole assembly or just reseals it when it's under warranty? I'll give it another day or 2 before heading in.
