Xenon ( self leveling) lamps got vapour in it and will change.....
But why did not the xenon gas leak from the lamp?As far as I know if water comes in then the gas must go out from the same gap. (Illumination is normal.) Or did the gas escaped but I don't understand. ? Any idea please. BesTT to all.
P.S. Sorry for English mistakes :-)

Don't worry about it. It is normal to get some condensation (when cold) and even small permanent
... crystals on the inside of the lamp units. That is the state of the art, it seems, and a replacement will not neccessarily fix it.

You have condensation on the lense of housing, HID capsule is inside the housing.
It's just like a bulb in a housing the moisture is not in the bulb (capsule) it's in the housing surrounding it.

One of my original housings filled up with condensation during every rain or wash...
I had it replaced under warrenty. If it's more than just a little have it looked at!

Normal - not Xenon but just water vapor...
All Audi headlights will accumulate water vapor as
the headlight lens assembly is not sealed.
See Audi's TSB on the matter for more info...<ul><li><a href="http://tech.vw.com/audipdf/a949901.pdf">Audi TSB 94-99-01: Headlights, Moisture Accumulation</a></li></ul>
