Try removing the ballast cover and blow dry it out. You'll need a torx bit for that cover. It happened a few times on some guys headlights over at the G forum and he also had condensation. I gave him my advice and it worked for him.

Worth a try before spending more money on a ballast.
Well for now I was thinking of throwing some sort of dessicant pack in there through the parking light hole. Hoping it will absorb the moisture without me having to take the light out.

If you have a leak that wouldn't solve the problem. Over time it'll come right back!

Yeah, but it should fix it for now though. Gonna reseal it once I get the lens from DM and then fix both of them.

Its probably NOT the ballast, ballasts are made to be pretty durable, i.e, wet cold hot, if anything, it could be the bulb, you could just buy a new bulb, what you do wanna do is reseal the headlight AFTER you replace the bulb.
