moisture in headlights

I have an 09 SS and after just 2500 miles the passenger side headlight has lots of moisture. Is this common?

I am going to take it to the dealer and know what the problem is, just was curious if this is a common occurance so i will know if I am going to have to replace headlight assemblies every 2500 miles.

no its not normal, if the lens/sealant or bulb assembly is not sealed properly it will allow condensation and will cause moisture inside the head light. It IS common after people take them apart and paint them, and seal them wrong. But if its from the factory, I would take it back to have it fixed, unless ofcourse you plan on painting your headlights..
