Unhappy Why? HELP!!!!

please help me./......
I had an accident last month on my jazz. so bring it to the honda service center and claimed it for insurance. then changed my headlight, my rim, my bumper, and the fender. they had given me a span of 1 week for them to fix everything. after i got my car. that night the headlamps foged or we call moisture. thought it was just natural. but as about 4 to 5 days had past the moisture is still there. the moist only comes out during at night and only on the driver side. so I decided to return it. but at first they argued its natural. i said if its natural why the other side is not having that moisture, so they didn't win the argument and changed it. they requested a new one. so when the headunit arrived I accompanied them for me to see they changed it. i saw the box sealed. they changed again. after changing it i was happy because thought everything is ok. but again the at about 9pm again the new headlight had moist. I have check the bulb rubber seal. well its sealed and other bulbs. it still moisted. what should i do? should i let them change it again? until its ok? or should i do something about it.. thanks a lot

Put the ball back in their court. You understandably just want it to be right so they have to do whatever needs to be done to make it right.

Just as a process of elimination have you tried swapping the bulbs between sides to see if the problem moves sides?

Got to be moisture getting in on that side somehow. Sounds like you have done what you can so its up to the Honda service center to fix it as they would have to warrant the parts and their work.

looks like the moise got stuck in the headlight.. somehow you will have to dry it up properly...

Have you try Silica Gel for a period of time to see if the moise can be absorb? (make sure you figure out a way to easily insert and remove it from the headlight?)

Or else, Take the headlight out and put it under the sun in the right angle so that the moise can escape...

This is solely my own opinion and I haven't tried any of the above.. (as I do not have such problem..)
