Default condensation in s2k headlight

I have a 2001 s2k and my passenger side headlight has condensation build-up. Is this a common problem? Well, awhile back, a transfer truck backed up into my car, and instead of going through insurance, the guy bought me a body-kit. I'm not sure if maybe he cracked my headlight (nothing is visible) or if this is just a problem with the '01 s2k. If, by any chance, this is a common problem, does anyone know what I should do to fix it? Hopefully I can do this without taking off my front bumper... Its molded in. Thanks.

Probably going to need to take off the front bumper and put the offending headlight in an oven for a couple of minutes to break the seal that holds it together.

Then you seal it somehow. Look for a DIY on like Civic Type-R black headlights, it'll have the steps needed to open/reseal headlights

The seal was likely damaged.
