"Because of the clear plastic"? It's because of dodgy seals. I used top get it in one and it was no prob as it soon went again but in the other it built up and built up untill there was a puddle in the bottom . Keep an eye on them, if it gets worse, take them out and put them in the airing cuboard over niht, then seal round the edge with some silicone rubber.

There should be no moisture in the unit in the first place. no moisture = no condensation. YOU NONSE.

I feel you may need to refer to your school science books.
Why do headlights not steam up? (206 GTi's have clear plastic lenses)
There should be no moisture inside a light, if there is it will suffer from condensation.

no they're not. Think about it, as soon as you change the bulb it would lose any pressure! I give up
