Default Headlight condensation and crystal pattern questions

For those who have delt with this before. My TTR was delivered with one headlight unit approximately 1/3 covered inside with condensation that has not gone away and the other has the crystal pattern already developing in the center of it. I'm going to have the dealer replace both but any idea on why this happens? It looks like there's a .5-1 cm gap between the headlight assembly and low and high beam lenses themselves. I can see right into the engine compartment. I thought these were sealed and don't remember this gap on my coupe. This could explain things if it shouldn't be that way. Any headlight experts out there?

Default Brian - I was curious about the same thing.

Previous posts say they're from bacteria? Seems odd.
