Headlight condensation?

17 Golf Wolfsburg, stock and only 17k miles. I know some condensation in the headlamps is normal, but how much is too much? My drivers side headlamp seems to always have moisture in it near the bottom.

As long as it is not lots of big water droplets don't worry. Last three cars have all been the same as they had HID's that do not generate the same amount of heat as halogen.

If there is considerable difference between the two, I'd claim this under warranty, water infiltration is likely. I had this on a 15-yr old Mk2 Octavia and fixed it myself as the warranty was long gone. On a new car it's a different story - why would you settle for less?

Same issue with the left-side headlamp on my 2017 wagon, which is well out of warranty. The dealer recommends replacing the entire headlamp assembly. I'm looking for a DIY solution.
