because your headlights don't actually have any condensation in them? Why do you need someone else's shots?

Maybe he just wants new headlights because they are broken, or he doesn't have. etc.

The only thing WE can suggest is to take pics when it happens, And show the dealer the proof like you were told.

My tail lights fog up, I have pics, but somehow they don't fog EVERY time it rains... So I understand the OP. AND I DO have the water spots in my headlights, but have never actually seen water

what you need to do is turn your lights on and let them get hot if in a cold area if you are somewhere it is hot put your car out in the sun. then go to a carwash and with the pressure washer aim for the sides of the light, what is happening is when the case heats up it will expand and allow moisture to get in. this is the best way to replicate what is happening.
