Default weird headlights and windshield condensation (fogged up)

So I just went out side and started my s2, turned my lights on and left it running for like 5 minutes, i put the top down. Then moved it like 5 feet forward. I then put my roof back on, turned off the lights, then shut it off and went back inside. 10 minutes later i got outside and see it and my whole windshield is all fogged up from the inside but just the windshield no other window. And then my headlights were fogged up too but not completely. They were only fogged up on little spots throughout the headlight and each fogged spot had a drop of water on the outside of the headlight, like if the headlight would have sucked up the drops of water through the plastic? Any one know what happened? Or if its going to get out of my headlights. I just paid like 500 bux a week ago for them

if the air was humid, humid air will enter your headlight. drop of water = cold, so it condenses the water from the inside. Don't worry about it - there are breathers in the back of the light that allow the moisture to escape as you leave your headlights on and the inside heats up.

yes, you shouldn't worry too much about cloudy in small area stuff. Start worrying when you have water in the headlights (usually due to a bad seal). A bit of condensation is normal since the headlights are not truly "sealed"
