So, as the title says, I have a verry strange problem with both headlights..

The right one, get's moisture inside only when it is raining, but no water in it tough..

The left one doesn't have any problems on a rainy day, but it has on a verry hot day. So, it stays dry inside when outside is cold or it rains but when it's verry hot outside it makes moisture inside :/

Do they have a vent somewhere ? I really don't know what to do.. I open up the back cover and they dry out inside; but after I close it up, after a while it happens the same thing..

Don't mind the scratch on the left, that's how i bought the car; the previous owner replaced the headlight tough

There is a leak at the seal on the right side most likely. The left is probably moisture trapped inside didn't get try out, so when its hot out causing the condensation. If they have been open, I would open them up and reseal with more butyl sealant. You definitely need to reseal the right side. For the left side, you may want to try to use a hair dryer at the rear opening try to dry out the moisture. If that didn't work, you may need open it up too, dry out any moisture and reseal.
