I have had it a few times. Always disappears within few hours. On a different forum I read, that it's normal in certain weather conditions. Apparently humidity enters the lighthousing through the ventilation of the Xenon lights and condensates through the heat produced by the Xenon lights. don't know if it's true, but it makes sense to me.

Same principle. Remove covers allow to dry out. Check seals and clean then pop back in. Just trapped moisture can come from jet washing, humidity. Or worn seals , split lens, etc...
