Condensation/moisture in headlight bucket
I tried searching the forums but couldn't find any info on it (Maybe I'm using a wrong search keyword). I am noticing some condensation in the headlight glass from inside.
I am sure I am not the first or only one to have this issue. How did you clean it if you faced the same issue?

You mean the headlamp glass appears hazed up a little from the inside? Seen that various times, coinciding w/ a corroded bulb cap.
If you actually saw condensation, that would mean moisture (droplets) inside the bucket, and it could be removed by opening the lamp housing, removing the bulb and drying out everything. But then still mean trouble unless you could assure it's tight and sealed afterwards.

take out the lamp, check the rubber cover on the back, place some dielectric grease prongs of the h4 bulb.
inspect the lamp housing for cracks, etc...
let the lamp dry out (or dry it out)
put some silicone lubricant on a rag and wipe the the entire rubber stopper down. wrap it all back up.
if it comes back.... repeat, you probably missed something somewhere
